Description

If you install BlackBerry WebWorks, cordova-blackberry bundles the portions of the bb10 sdk necessary to build/deploy blackberry 10 packages.

If you use Cordova directly and add cordova-blackberry, you somehow have to get those files into your path.

One way is by downloading Momentics (which is huge), and using it to download a BB10 NDK (which is bigger than that), and then running:

{path-to-momentics}

/bbndk-env_10_.
– where the the first * includes a version, that could be 0_10_buildid, or 1_0_pat or 2_0_buildid or 3_0_buildid (there are other values than 0 for the release number) and the second * is sh/bat depending on your platform.

This isn't really the way we want to do it. But, we definitely need to have check_reqs offer better support.
