The BlackBerry plugin for Eclipse is no longer supported (was end-of-lifed last year). Developers are encouraged to continue to use their favorite IDE (including Eclipse) for editing files along with the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK (for packaging) and the Ripple Mobile emulator (for previewing & testing) :
https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/download/
Lastly, there is an Ant build script published that can help make things much easier:

I am new in BlackBerry application development. I have installed "BlackBerry Plug-ins for Eclipse version 7.1" successfully. Now I am trying to import one existing project into Eclipse, it is showing the following error:
Build path entry is missing: org.eclipse.jdt.lau...de.BlackBerryVMInstallType/BlackBerry JRE 4.7.0
what is the reason for this?
If you have only installed the OS 7.1 plugin, then you won't be able to target OS 4.7.
You'll need to also install the SDK for OS 4.7. To do that, in Eclipse, go to the Help menu, then Install New Software..., then select the Work With: pull-down menu, and pick the BlackBerry Eclipse Plugin site.
Then, in the center of the window, you'll select the SDKs (OS Versions) you want to directly target:
As you see, I'm using the Mac Eclipse Plugin, and it doesn't even show OS 4.7 ... I can't remember if the Windows versions still supports 4.7 (I think it might offer a 4.5 plugin). Basically, all the 4.7 devices out there should be eligible for free upgrades to 5.0, so I don't know that it's worth it to support 4.7 anymore. Just support OS 5.0+.
Once you're sure that you have the correct SDK, then in the window you show in your screenshot, try removing that OS 4.7 library. Then, use the Add Library.. button, select JRE System Library and pick the BlackBerry JRE 5.0.0 (it may be in the Alternate JRE menu):
After you do that, try cleaning and rebuilding your project.
I have installed the eclipse for blackberry development from the blackberry eclipse download site https://developer.blackberry.com/java/download/eclipse successfully. The current version of the blackberry JDE is 7.1.
I tried adding the other versions 5.0 and 6.0 using the Help --> Install Software feature of eclipse by adding the download site from blackberry as https://developer.blackberry.com/java/download/eclipse. But unfortunately after selecting version 5.0 or 6.0 the download fails halfway with time-out.
So I tried downloading the said jar files separately. They are
net.rim.ejde.componentpack5.0.0_5.0.0.36.jar (250 MB file)
net.rim.ejde.componentpack6.0.0_6.0.0.43.jar (260 MB file)
Then I tried adding them but don't know the correct way of doing it.
tried putting it in plugin folder
tried putting in drop ins folder
I just was unable to figure out how to include this Jar file for compiling the blackberry code for the above versions of 5 and 6 along with the simulators.
Any ideas?

Use Eclipse to install the BlackBerry Java Plug-in.
Choose Help > Install New Software.
Click Add.
For Name, type BlackBerry Java Plug-in Update Site.

Select BlackBerry Java Plug-in and at least one BlackBerry SDK. Choose the version of the BlackBerry SDK that is compatible with your intended target market.

I am a Blackberry newbie. I develop on Mac OS Lion. I just installed the latest component pack for blackberry. However, the device that I am going to develop for has Blackberry 4.6 installed. So it is unable to run any of the new samples provided by the RIM component pack. How do I obtain an older version on eclipse?
You can install additional BlackBerry SDK versions via the BlackBerry's update site. Follow this guide, BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse Update Site, to learn how. According to this guide, as for today, the available BlackBerry SDK versions that can be downloaded via the update site are:
7.1
7.0
6.0
5.0
4.5 (Available for Windows only)
Also check this guide, BlackBerry Plug-in for Eclipse.
I am having a lot of issues installing my BlackBerry app to my phone. The app has been signed but still says that there is an error of attempting to access a secure API. However, I realise my eclipse is using the 7 sdk whereas my phone is running blackberry 6. Could this be the issue?
How would I go about changing this in eclipse?
First you will need to install the BlackBerry JRE 6.0.0 Plugin into your instance of Eclipse by adding BlackBerry Java Plugin - http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.6/java to your list of 'Available Software Sites' in Eclipse->Help->Install new software.
Then when you have that installed, you will be able to right click on JRE System Library [BlackBerry JRE 7.0.0] in your project, select Properties and change to JRE 6.0.0.
Then re-package, sign and install on your OS6 device
