While writing book chapters  on the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE) and the BlackBerry JDE Plug-in for Eclipse (eJDE) I came areoss a feature that just wasn't documented anywhere. Both tools support definition of 'Build Rules' but the online help, the knowledge base and the internet as a whole doesn't have anything about them. RIM was kind enough to explain to me that:

A build rule is a command string which is executed even before the "Pre-build" command. It can be any command which can be xecuted in the DOS console. Developers usually use it to manipulate files:

copy *.e1 to *.e2

delete *.e1

Developer can define multiple build rules.
