Phonegap + Blackberry: no ondeviceready

Question

Developing PhoneGap + Blackberry has been my recent nightmare... the onDeviceReady is not firing and I can't find webworkers.js anywhere... Anyone has some kind of complex application running with BB 7.1?

Adding the code: I'm using the default code in the PhoneGap sample:

<html>
<head>      
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
    <title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="app">
        <h1>Apache Cordova</h1>
        <div id="deviceready" class="blink">
            <p class="event listening">Connecting to Device</p>
            <p class="event received">Device is Ready</p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/webworks.js"></script>  
    <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova-2.2.0.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        app.initialize();
    </script>
</body>

And using ripple extension I'm getting the following console Log:

Viewport target-densitydpi is not supported. index.html:24
GET http:// localhost/bb/js/webworks.js 404 (Not Found) index.html:36
Ripple :: Environment Warming Up (Tea. Earl Gray. Hot.) ripple.js:475
XHR finished loading: "http://localhost/bb/config.xml". ripple.js:484
webworks.handset :: Initialization Finished (Make it so.) ripple.js:475
eula response:  true ripple.js:483
XHR finished loading: "http://localhost/bb/config.xml". ripple.js:484
Viewport target-densitydpi is not supported. index.html:24
GET http:// localhost/bb/js/webworks.js 404 (Not Found)

I'm using Windows 8 x64, could have something to do with it???

There is no Ripple folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks SDK 2.3.1.5

First of all, if you mean Web Workers as JS API, doesn't exist a file called webworkers.js. They're a native API. If you mean something different, you need to be more specific. — Aurelio De Rosa
Yes I was talking about that file... :( this blackberry is very weired... Thank you — Rui Lima
Nop, installed in Windows XP and the demo from PhoneGap still not working.... The ondeviceready never being raised in Ripple. — Rui Lima

I have exactly the same problem. Remotely hosted code does not work as there is no webworks.js that I can copy to the remote web tree.

The sample code from phonegap doesn't work if hosted remotely.
