Set application information and type
Users see the application information when they install the application using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software. This information is also available on the BlackBerry device after the application is installed: in the BlackBerry device options, users click Applications and then click an application.
- In the Workspace files window, right-click a project file.
- Click Properties.

- Set any of the following options:
Type a descriptive name for this project.
To create a keyboard shortcut for an application, add the unicode underscore character (\u0332) after a letter in the title. For example, for the Hello World application, type H\u0332ello World. When the user presses the h key on the Home screen of the BlackBerry device, the Hello World application starts. If more than one application uses the same keyboard shortcut, the application that appears first on the Home screen opens.
To support multiple languages, create resource files for localization, and then set the options on the Resources tab.
