What is RRC file?

The file in the RRC format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is BlackBerry (Research In Motion Limited). In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. BlackBerry Java Resource Content appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Eclipse. This was created by The Eclipse Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 5 other programs. The TextEdit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor, BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse programs will also handle the file when the Eclipse program does not fulfill its role.

How to open RRC file?

An often recurring problem with BlackBerry Java Resource Content is that RRC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RRC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RRC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Eclipse

In this case, you should first verify that the Eclipse application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Eclipse into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RRC with Eclipse. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RRC files.

Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with RRC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RRC file still does not use the Eclipse program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RRC file with the Eclipse application.

Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Eclipse program with the BlackBerry Java Resource Content file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Eclipse Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RRC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RRC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RRC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RRC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RRC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RRC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BlackBerry (Research In Motion Limited), but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RRC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RRC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RRC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RRC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
