I want to add an extra menu item in the blackberry default mail client application..
is there any way to develop this like a plugin..?
Yes, it is possible to develop this via a BlackBerry Java app - see the ApplicationMenuItemRepository class.

When developing a application for iOS that pulls in a web site, you have a very simple web app wrapper that as far as I know acts like an iframe, pulls in the web site and boom - you have an app.
My understanding is that if done this way you are using a "stripped down" Safari to view the web site in a "app" as it is a web wrapper.
When developing an app for BB OS6, is it the same concept? If I develop a wrapper that says "go fetch site x and display it in this app" is it going to use BB OS6 default browser APIs to render said site?
Also is there links to said API?
If all you want is a container to display Web content I'd highly recommend you use Webworks (or cordova for cross platform) as opposed to Java. WebWorks already creates and sets up the bf2 for you in a tested and proven way.
The equivalent of UIWebView for iOS would be the BlackBerry BrowserField.
If you want some examples of how to use it, I recommend installing the BlackBerry Eclipse plugin. That will install in Eclipse the full BlackBerry Java SDK (e.g. version 6.0, 7.0, etc.), which comes with lots of sample code. From Eclipse, you can then
Import... -> BlackBerry -> Import BlackBerry Samples -> BrowserField2Demo.
Note that you want the BrowserField2Demo, not BrowserFieldDemo!
Or, you can go directly to the github site with BlackBerry sample code.
I am developing a mobile app using phonegap for the Android, iPhone and Blackberry platforms.
I need a notification to be send from a Java EE server to BB when a new message gets created. This means the Java EE server pushes this notification and the BB mobile device gets the notification. I need to put a push notification feature in my app, so that my server can poll my app and then put the notification if there is any new notification.
On browsing the net I found out that there are plugins for Phonegap for both iPhone and Android, which help in showing the notification. But I did not find any useful resources for Blackberry.
I am following http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/30152/Push_Service_SDK-Installation_and_Configuration_Guide--1648741-0622124431-001-1.1.0.16-US.pdf.
However, I'm facing some environment challenge (setting up the SDK in the IDE for Blackberry in Phonegap).
To use that SDK the IDE is needed, but I think using ANT is not possible. I need some examples for creating the Phonegap project for Blackberry using the IDE.
I want to get a push notification in Blackberry using phonegap. Can someone help me in performing this? Any links that explain this with HTML or JavaScript would be really helpful.
Phonegap does not provide plugins for Blackberry. Instead BB already have an API for HTML5 for push notifications (BIS/BES). They are a bit limited comparing to the native code: for example there is no sound support.
You can use Blackberry Webworks SDK and Ripple as BB emulator. The only problem is that Ripple does not support push notifications and in the end you have to test your app on a real device anyway.
For more information take a look on the tutorial here:
http://www.pushwoosh.com/programming-push-notification/blackberry-html5-webworks-push-notification-sdk/
I am not sure whether Phone Gap has the plugin to support BlackBerry. I think Phone Gap forums might be a better place to post this question.

Can I integrate a standard BlackBerry web-browser in my BlackBerry application? Similar to embedding Internet Explorer in a standalone desktop application on C#.
I think you are looking for the BrowserField, which lets you embed a browser within your java-me app.
I want to develop an application which gets the details of other installed applications on Blackberry. Is there any possibility?
Yes, you can use CodeModuleGroupManager.loadAll() to get a list of all applications installed on the device.
I want to access Jira through my Blackberry, but I'm not very interested in accessing web client through Blackberry browser. Are there any native solutions?
PuguaSoft LLC is developing a BlackBerry application for JIRA called PocketJIRA. It's still in development, but we're hoping to release a beta version for testing soon. For more information, please visit http://www.pocketjira.com.
Can't find any BlackBerry JIRA application. But I've found out there are RPC services in JIRA, so it's possible to implement such application with limited client functionality.
