Running any Blackberry Simulator for the JDE takes forever to launch. Any ideas on speeding it up? I see that it looks through a bunch of generic files while booting up, can I strip it down? All I want to do is test my app, which only relies on e-mail, maps and the contact book.

There's a couple of things that can be done, but only if you don't need the functionality.
Both of these are from the Edit -> Preferences -> Simulator Tab (this assumes you are using the JDE)
1) If you don't need connectivity for your app, on the Simulator -> Network tab, make sure "Disable Registration" and "Start with radio off" are checked.
2) If you don't need MMC support, on the Simulator -> Memory tab, make sure "Do not support Multimedia Card Simulation" is checked.
I'm not sure how much this will help, but it should make it a bit faster.

If you're using a JRE/JDE and simulator both 5.0 or higher, you can use the Code Hot Swap feature to update the app in a running simulator without having to restart it.

Thanks for the link, I will investigate. But my target OS is 4.6 and up :( – Valchris Oct 21 '10 at 14:36

Well you can still use the hot-swap method for the "back-and-forth" type of development (i.e. tweaking the UI) then switch back to older JRE/JDK and simulator later to make sure it works fine on those devices. – Marc Novakowski Oct 21 '10 at 16:38

Any suggestions for 4.6 simulators? – Valchris Oct 24 '10 at 16:34

Not really, just try a couple and pick the one that loads up the fastest. – Marc Novakowski Oct 24 '10 at 20:38
