I am trying to use the Blackberry emulator to find out why code that is 
displaying strings to a canvas in other emulators and devices don't do so in 
the Blackberry emulator.

I'm running into 2 issues detailed below.

I love using the wonderful Netbeans IDE--it's great. However, the 
System.out.println messages that I output to debug the problem, don't display 
in the output window. Per the Blackberry website, to display the 
System.out.println messages, I can't just run the emulator (with Netbeans or 
stand-alone), I have to run it with Blackberry's JDE (which is inferior to 
Netbeans').

The second problem is I cannot run the code through the debugger because it 
doesn't attach to the port. To duplicate this, create a new same project (I 
chose the VariousGames sample code that came with Netbeans). I modified the 
build.xml file as specified in the document "Blackberry Development Using 
Netbeans Mobility". I also created the .alx file. I changed the project 
properties to compile with debug option.

Here's the output from the attempt:
