I am developing standard J2ME apps in NETbeans, but is there any specific IDE and emulator for Blackberry development? Any specific documentation about J2ME for Blackberry ?

I developed a standard J2ME application in netbeans with about 10 UI screens and using webservices. I was quiet satisfied with the results. I then spent about a week trying to "port" this application to a blackberry. (Trying your approach of getting blackberry api working on Netbeans and trying native J2ME on the blackberry SDK)

I then only managed to get successful results by starting a fresh Blackberry application using the standard blackberry Eclipse IDE. Although I have two separate applications in different platforms I am happy with this two IDE approach.

There is the API Reference for every Blackberry OS. Example 4.5 (just change the Version number to 4.7 or any other version).

But you can find a lot of resources at the Developer Site of Research in Motion. Personally I use the eclipse plugin as IDE.

A note of advise when developing for the blackberry: check with the bb API before before using any of the 'advanced' features of J2ME they are far from being all implemented.
