Blackberry Eclipse Plugin for Android Error

Question

I am trying to add Blackberry Eclipse Plugin for the purpose of porting an Android app.

But after installing plugin, when I click Blackberry Tools SDK as said in the documentation, it gives me the error:

The currently displayed page contains invalid values.

And I can not do anything. Also what is the public ssh key that needs to be defined?

Thank you.

The "Target" in this case is the device you want to load your software onto ... the BlackBerry mobile device.

This is allowing you to setup SSH public key authentication to let Eclipse transfer code to the device.

There's a few steps involved. Basically, you'll install something like PuTTY on your development machine, and use puttygen to create a public/private key pair. Then, you use blackberry-connect to transfer the public key to your device. After that, Eclipse will be able to use this keypair for ssh'ing into the device, without prompting you for username and password every time (you basically are giving your public key to the BlackBerry so it knows to recognize that key as an authorized key for logins).

After creating the keys and transferring the public key, the SSH Key Path field you show in your screenshot should be the Windows path to the private key you just generated.
