RIM has just updated their Eclipse and Visual Studio tools to support widgets and BlackBerry OS 5.0. These plug-ins were originally designed for website debugging, but with the Widgets SDK now out in the wild, those who would rather stick with the tools they know will have the option to use Eclipse and Visual Studio. This is also only Beta 1 of the BlackBerry Web Plug-Ins… Future releases will be automatically updated when you get new versions of the SDK, and the next set of tools should include Javascript debugging. If there are any web devs in the house, hit up the BlackBerry Web Plug-In page for more info and downloads, or check out the video demos for a quick overview.
