Answer 1

Its hard to nail down the problem with that information but I suspect you have a problem with "target name" in your xml.
Make sure the load-device is correctly targeted in your blackberry.xml as shown.
<target name="load-device" depends="package-app">
<bbwp code-sign="true" />
<exec executable="${javaloader}" dir="." failonerror="true">
<arg value="-u" />
<arg value="-w${properties.blackberry.sim.password}" />
<arg value="load" />
<arg file="${build.dir}/StandardInstall/${cod.name}.cod" />
</exec>
</target>
Also make sure that your directories are properly set in project.properties.
blackberry.bbwp.dir=C:\\TheBlackBerryWebWorksSDK
blackberry.sim.dir=C:\\TheEclipseBlackBerry\\plugins\\net.rim.ejde.componentpack5.0.0_5.0.0.25\\components\\simulator
blackberry.mds.dir=C:\\TheBlackBerryWebWorksSDK\\mds

I think that you may not have BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed. You can download this from http://uk.blackberry.com/software/desktop/desktop-pc.html

This error is also thrown when using the incorrect deployment command.
In my case I tried to deploy my application to a BB10 device using ant blackberry load-device instead of ant qnx load-device.
Here's a snippet from the documentation:
BlackBerry 10 (QNX) - ant qnx load-device
BlackBerry PlayBook - ant playbook load-device
BlackBerry Smartphone (OS5-7) - ant blackberry load-device
See http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.5.0/guide_getting-started_blackberry_index.md.html
