If you haven't reviewed them recently, these are the full (up-to-date) setup 
instructions:
http://www.logicprobe.org/proj/logicmail/wiki/development

The most important part is that you have to use the BlackBerry Java Plug-in 
for Eclipse installed when doing all of this.  The resource file its 
complaining about is code that is auto-generated behind the scenes by the 
plugin.  FYI, the new 1.1 plugin makes the process *much* more straightforward 
than the old 1.0 plugin.  You basically just checkout the whole thing, then 
import the projects into eclipse.
