*Solution* – BlackBerry JDE does not generate the alx file

Yep, this happened to me as well. When I clicked on Project->Generate ALX file; nothing happens. No notification, nothing.
But the truth is, the ALX file is just a simple XML file. So, you can actually create it yourself.

Just copy and paste the text below into a file named <appName>.alx; modify the necessary sections,(the most important is the <files> tag) and just use the Desktop Manager to install it.


<loader version="1.0">
    <application id="DemoApp">
        <name >
            DemoApp
        </name>
        <description >

        <version >

        </version>
        <vendor >

            <files >
                DemoApp.cod

            </files>

        </fileset>

    </application>

</loader>

    All you need to do is select the project name in the workspace pane right click it then select “Generate ALX File”

    I haven’t tried that option; but shouldn’t the “Project->Generate ALX file” option do the exact same thing? And if there is an error, it should report that. I am not currently developing for BlackBerry and don’t have the JDE installed to try what you are suggesting, but I saw this problem on the BlackBerry forums too, so I am not the only one having this problem apparently.
