Alternate BlackBerry Eclipse update site - blackberry

Can somebody tell me how to configure eclipse for Blackberry so that phonegap applications can work properly? I tried following "Getting Started with PhoneGap BlackBerry WebWorks"
but I am not able to configure because the BlackBerry eclipse update site is not available right now. It will be very helpful if somebody give me any alternate link or guide me to configure eclipse for the same.
This is the update URL I am using:
http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.6/web

The bottom of that PhoneGap Wiki article links to RIM's BlackBerry WebWorks Plug-in page.

How to use iOS keychain in Oracle MAF application?

I am pretty new to Oracle MAF framework. I want to store a string to iOS keychain and retrieve later. I have searched for a tutorial and still unable to find.
Please share any tutorial if anyone has done this before. Also I want to know whether we can use a Cordova plugin such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-ios-keychain directly in the MAF project?
I was able to resolve the problem. I would like to share how did I manage to do. Cordova plugin can be used in the MAF application. MAF app's java code can invoke javascript methods in the cordova plugin. Or we can write a javascript class to do the bridging between MAF app and the cordova plugin.
This is a good tutorial for your reference.

Actually I have gone through many sites & I came to know that I need to install BBM SDK ... after that I get problem not find class error .. I solved this by verifying the jar and used the generated one, but I still have the problem that I get the error and can't build the project .. So I need to know how to integrate BBM into my App?
As I am new to this development any small help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance ...

Open External Link with Phonegap Cordova in iOS without Childbrowser Plugin

Can I open external links with Phonegap Cordova (1.8.1) in iOS without the Childbrowser plugin?
Most of the tutorials that talk about this topic are outdated.
Any solution?
Thanks.
Actually, using
a link like this
Or
window.location.href="my-external-url"
Will open the external URL in the Phonegap webview, not in a browser. If you have this working as you claim, you have solved a really big issue for all phonegap users. Some literature on this topic.

You can use window.open with "_system" as the window name (InAppBrowser)

Integrating FastPdfKit with a PhoneGap application

I'd like to integrate a FastPdfKit Reader into my PhoneGap application. That is, the PDF reader should be opened within the PhoneGap app, so that the application-related navigation is still visible.
Where do I best start?
Do you know about any publicly available code that gives an example on how to achieve this?
It sounds like what you are looking for is creating a PhoneGap plugin.

Do not display Blackberry icon on the Blackberry home screen for JDK

I am doing an application on Blackberry JDK. I want to use an option available for eclipse plugin saying "Do not display Blackberry icon on the Blackberry home screen".
How can I find this option for JDK?
You can mark the application as System Module.
In fact, what the eclipse plugin does is exactly that. If you manually open an eclipse project descriptor (the xml file), you can read it:
IsSystemModule="true"
