Blackberry Eclipse plugin for Mac installation voodoo needed


Has anyone successfully installed and run the Blackberry Eclipse plugin for MacOS?

Apparently, BB has not improved their Mac support much in the last year, since there was a question here about it last year.

I've followed their instructions to the letter, but they seem to assume that all you'll ever do in Eclipse is use their plugin. I want to move their plugin into an existing Eclipse installation.

I've copied the net.rim.* files from their Eclipse installation in to my /plugins folder, restarted, they show up in the list of installed plugins, but building an app always yields this error:

"Failed importing native project for BlackBerry. Missing Blackberry plugin. For more details see http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaupdate.jsp"

Thanks. Mike
