Blackberry SDK 4.2.1 not available in Eclipse Plug-in 1.1
I need to develop an application for Blackberry Java SDK 4.2.1 and higher. I am currently under Eclipse Classic 3.5 and I have installed BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse v1.1 with all Blackberry Java SDK versions 4.5 to 5.0 available. Unfortunately, there is no SDK available under 4.5. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I mean by developing for Blackberry Java SDK 4.2.1 with Eclipse IDE. Thanks.

If you download the RIM JDE for the Blackberry version you need, here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=00EC53C4682D36F5C4359F4AE7BD7BA1 It should contain a jar file that you can import as a library. I think you need Java Development Environment v4.2.1.
To enable it in Eclipse I think you can import the project, right-click on it in the Navigator / Package Explorer, go to properties, then click Java Build Path, Libraries. Remove the current RIM library and click Add Library. Select UserLibrary, then click User Libraries and New. Give it a name. Click Add Jars and then browse to the JAR file that comes with the JDE you downloaded.

In the Eclipse menu, you can go to "Help" → "Install new software ...". When the dialog box opens, enter the following URL into it: http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java and download whatever you need (just download everything). It will take a while, you will get it eventually.

I did this just the other day and made a note for self-assessment, for me the solution was in a .ee file. you are 3/4 way there.
there is a deeper discussion in RIM:
