title: How can I install the BlackBerry v5.0.0 component pack into Eclipse?
body: <p>I'm trying to install the latest v5.0.0 "beta 2" BlackBerry OS Component Pack into Eclipse 3.4.2 with BlackBerry Eclipse plugin v1.0.0.67, but have hit a few problems.  Has anybody found an easy way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>I had no trouble installing the <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/devtools.jsp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 Component Packs</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It's rather strange that BlackBerry are shipping new phones with the v5.0.0 OS installed (e.g. a Storm 2 9550 and Bold 9700 that I just bought), and pushing that update to phones whilst <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/devbetasoftware/devbeta.jsp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the BlackBerry website</a> still considers the v5.0.0 SDK / Component Packs to be "beta 2"!  If anybody knows when an official non-beta Component Pack is going to be released that might solve my problem...</p>
  
  <p>In case it helps, the problems I've hit so far are:<br>
  -Contrary to the implication on <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/devbetasoftware/devbeta.jsp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the BlackBerry website</a>, the Eclipse <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/devbetasoftware/updatesite.jsp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"Software Update..." option</a> for the v5.0.0 Component Pack claims it only works on the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBerry plugin, not the new v1.1 one.<br>
  -I then tried to install the v5.0.0 Component Pack through the "Software Updates..." menu in Eclipse using the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBery plugin.  Once I'd done the 200MB download the install failed with a "Invalid zip file format" error.<br>
  -I might just have been unlucky with a corrupted download but I did try it twice, once through "Software Updates..." and once by selecting "Archive" to install the downloaded Component Pack (which unlike v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 was a JAR, not a ZIP).  </p>
