Design view in eclipse

hey
i am new with eclipse. I have download the cfeclipse plugin and it is working fine,,
But now my problem is i cannt view my cfm pages in design mode.
Can anyone please help which plugin to install or any settings that need to be changed
Thanks in advance

Wrong forum, by the way. This is for questions pertaining to the Flex SDK. FlashBuilder has its own dedicated forum for questions specific to the IDE.

Updated Web Services and Pageflow design view available via eclipse update

All,
An eclipse update to Workshop for WebLogic Platform 9.2 is now available.
The new features available in this update are listed below
Web Service Design View: The web service Design View lets you design all of the major features of a web service using a graphical development environment. The following features are included:
* Creation of web methods, callbacks, and event handlers
* Direct configuration of conversational and buffering properties
* Inline method signature editing, with syntax highlighting and code completion
* Simultaneous editing of separate interface and implementation files
* Improved error detection and messaging
Page Flow Overview. The Page Flow Overview gives a graphical overview of an entire page flow, including its JSP pages, actions, and navigational relationships. This high-level view of a page flow gives the developer a total picture of how a page flow is structured. The following features are included:
* Continuous automatic graph layout
* Improved layout algorithm
* Selection is synchronized with the Page Flow Editor
* Graph Tracing mode makes reading complex graphs easier
* Print graphs or export them as images

Improved Test Client functionality. The Test Client now supports directly testing services that have callbacks as well as services that have only JMS as a transport. The Test Client is downloaded along with the Workshop for WebLogic 9.2.1 update, but it must be installed manually. For details on installing and using the Test Client to test web services, see Testing Web Services with the Test Client.
Cheat Sheets. A variety of cheat sheets are now available to get you started with Workshop for WebLogic.
The following cheat sheets are available:
* NetUI Web Application: Hello World

What is the replacement for design view in in flex builder 4.7 for cs extension builder?

Because design view is not available in flash builder than what is the use of extension builder in UI designing now we have to do design UI with xml which is very time consuming and boring if there is any replacemnt for it than please help me .1 more thing i want to know is that when i make new default project in extension builder(flash builder 4.6) than it also not able to load design mode errror is
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.cside.libsinstaller_2.0.0.4-33034\archive\cslibs\2.0\4.5\re lease\apedelta.swc- not respondingSWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.The SWC may have failed to load because of:
* Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
* Missing referred class definitions

I have researched this quite considerably and my understanding is that Adobe have no intention of supporting Design View any more for Extension Builder. In my opinion a very disappointing decision and one that is hard to comprehend.
The best workaround I can find is to create the majority of your design in a parallel, non Extension Builder, project and then convert/import your design into your Extension. This is by no means as satisfactory as having Design View for the Extension you are writing but it is better than simply creating your layout by guess work/trial and error.
Although this has not been announced by Adobe, I have a suspicion that the reason they have decided not to put any further resources into fixing Design View is that Extension Builder as we know it is going to be abandoned soon, probably replaced with an HTML5/JavaScript method of building extensions. My concern with this is that, other than wanting reassurances that there will be backward compatibility support for old extensions, There will not be a way of compiling an extension in a way that prevents people from seeing your code.
This is all speculation and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Hope this has helped.

Flash Builder Design view

Hi all,
I have also an issue when trying to view a component in the Flash Builder 4 Design View (running on Eclipse 3.5 SP-2).
The design view does not open and I get an error message. When I look into the Eclipse "Error Log" view I see the following stack trace and session data as shown below...
I appreciate any hint what is going wrong here...
Thanks!

Today I try to use a standalone version, it‘s running good.
So, it may tell us that the problem may be only happen in the situation that using a plugin version FB4 and running on win 7.
If you just need flex and do not use j2ee, I suggest you using a standalone FB.

Design view for jsp custom tags.

when we drag-and-drop custom tag control in the source of jsp page, when we switch to the design view of jsp we should be able to view controls as desired.
Observation: 1) Eclipse 3.2 doesn't have design view for jsp pages.
2) which software uses the design view. we need to extend eclipse core framework and we do not find any technical approach document to proceed further on this.
3) RAD 6.0 we can see a JSP in design view.
I'm searching for any technical approach document to create plugin that can intercept the custom tags and provide a design view.
Will any one suggest the plugin for that.

Jeff,
I have checked with engineering and found that JSP Design View support on
Linux is a planned feature for the next release. I don't think we will have
this feature as part of a Service Pack for 8.1

Design view empty!

I'm using Flex Builder 3. While creating a UI within the
source view, I occasionally switch over to design view to see how
things are looking. At a certain point, all my controls disappear
from the design window. Everything's still fine within the source
view and the app actually compiles and runs just fine. After a
while, the Designer just gets itself into some state where it no
longer displays controls (nor can controls be added to the UI using
the Design view).
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround?
Many thanks!

Most of what Flex does well is work with data. When you're in
Design view
you don't have access to the data, so you get a very
truncated picture of
what you're going to get when data is present. Since that's
the case, if
you're using Flex for what it's intended for, you're not
going to find
Design view very useful.
That being said, I've heard other developers with similar
complaints, and I
think it has something to do with the java version in the
eclipse part of
builder. You might want to try updating eclipse, or
uninstalling and
reinstalling Builder.

Design View Implementation

Hi all,
Although I'm a beginner of Java I've to develop an AJAX IDE in Java as graduation project. In the IDE I plan to have a "Design View", one like Netbeans have but idk where to start. How can I do this? Anyone with suggestions or experiences?
Thanks in advance...

Well...what should it do exactly? If iunderstand
right, you probably need to make a visual
editor
in
Swing, so that you can drag elements intoposition.
Then you need to have some conversion to put
the
changed information back into the JavaScriptcode.
It's seems like a huge amount of work to me...Yes, you're right. Delphi also has an example ofit.
For example, you drag a button object in someplace
on canvas. Then you can change button propertieslike
color, text on it, etc.
Any suggestions? How can I do this?it's not an easy question to answer, like "how doI
build a house?". I've pointed you at what I think
could help. you certainly want to be using somesort
of framework for this, like eclipse, otherwisemost
of your time will be spent writing mundane,
non-your-problem-domain code that won't earn youany
marks. my last job, we had a project building a
visual software process editor, and I'm prettysure
they used EMF, like I suggested above. trying todo
all the drag 'n' drop stuff yourself is a major
headache. a lot more complex than you think it willbe
I can use instant tools as well. No problem with
that. Let me ask my question that way then: What are
the tools that can be useful for such a task?they're still here. like they were all the other times

Design View is un-usable

I am using the new Flashbuilder 4 on a Macbook Pro running Parallels for using Windows XPpro. I installed the trial version of Flashbuilder 4 and when I go to the "Design View" my display is whitted out. By this I mean the entire display is white with no icons, no canvas, no toolbars showing. If I roll my cursor over some of the icons they will appear, however, this is not true for all the icons and menus. If I use "Source View" then the application seems to run fine. While I had a thread discussion at Flashbuilder 4 brings machine to screeching HALT! I opened this discussion as it addresses a completely new item as I realized the topic and initial details related to problems/solutions which I "thought" were right, but not. This topic addresses a more true series of events surrounding my problem.
thank you
Alex

I was reading some Forum posts at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/604122 and found these entries:
Peter deHaan (Adobe) said in a forum topic about "Flash Builder 4 Extremely Slow under Windows 7 + Java" ...http://forums.adobe.com/people/Peter%20deHaan%20(Adobe)
No, I would not consider that big. But if code hinting is slow also, that may be more of an OS/Builder thing and not really a Flex SDK issue. I have a Windows 7 and Windows XP laptop at work and run Windows 7 Ultimate at home and havent seen any performance problems (although I'm not sure which are running 32 bit vs 64 bit OSes actually).
while Jason San Jose said this about the JVM ...
Are you using a 64-bit JVM? It sounds like you're running Flash Builder Plug-in, so try this:
1) Close Eclipse
2) Open the eclipse.ini file where your eclipse.exe is located
3) Add a new line after "-vmargs" and on that line type "-d32"
4) Restart Eclipse
A 32-bit JRE is required http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/systemreqs/. "-d32" will force your JVM into a 32-bit mode.
You're likely seeing Design view crash because Flash Player support for 64-bit http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html.
Alternatively, you can install a 32-bit JVM and assign that to JAVA_HOME.
Would either of these recommendations be a solution to my "Design View" rendering problem?

Yahoo Maps drives CPU up to 99% in design view

This problem is happening to both myself and my co-developer
on two separate, but similar PC's.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue, all is happy in the
source view, but upon adding a YahooMap component to an application
when I go into the design view, FB3 (sa or plugin doesn't matter)
slamps the CPU up to 99% utilization and will not respond anymore.
My first though was that it was something I was doing with the
component. So, I created a new empty project hooked in all the
Yahoo Astra stuff and then added just the Map component to my empty
application. Instantly the CPU flew up to 99% and Eclipse stopped
responding.
HELLLLP!!!!
--Nick

My initial guess was correct. The YahooMapService sets its
"source" property to a mapURL that causes design view to go into an
infinite update loop. You can make a small change to
YahooMapService.as (and rebuild the SWC) to work around the
problem.
In YahooMapService.as draw(), check the designTime flag
before setting the source property as follows:
if (!UIComponentGlobals.designTime)
this.source = mapURL + "?&swfDomId=" + swfDomId +
"&id=" + UUID + "&url=" + escape( mapURL );
and also add
import mx.core.UIComponentGlobals;
in the "import" section of that file.
Then, create a new Flex Library project for the ActionScript
3 Astra source and rebuild the SWC.

WAMP5 & Design View

I've installed WAMP5 on my developing machine, and am using
Dreamweaver CS3. When I work on pages, they preview in the browser,
but design view is grayed out, not allowing me to visually see
anything in Dreamweaver. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I agree. Any non-trivial .xsl file will have more than 1

XML Spy is definitely worth a try:
http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xml_editor.html
I remember XML Mind having interesting out of the box support
for DocBook
that allows visual editing. But it lacks code editing
features and it was
pretty slow for me:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/
There are many, many other alternatives I never tried.
Many solutions are available as Eclipse's plugin as well,
both free and
commercial. If you like Eclipse or you already use it for
other purposes,
that could be a good choice.

No Design View = Time to move on from Flex?

I love Flash/Flex.
I have been using it for a long time. Nothing comes close to it in many was as a RIA development tool for making great cross platform apps (OSX/Windows/Linux/iOS/Android). (Not just games)
However, over the last few years as the properganda from entities that would prefer to see Flash go away, has worked well, and only the people who know flash very well are those who have stayed.. As we understand what we get with flash and how alternatives don;t compare.
Still, we are the only ones left as anyone starting out, considering the properganda, would not even consider flash anymore.
I was hoping that flash would continue on with those in the know and the advantages would continue on while the rest of the brain washed community would eventually saw, "ah! why are we not using this.." as they realise the advantages of the cross platfom that flash is king in.
(Cross platform tools will be the most important single issue as time goes on and the market fragments more and more)
As the developers that have been fathful to the technology, even tho Adobe has forsaken us.. (And paid the price with probably the bigest reputational damage in its history) One would expect Adobe had learnt from this..
But unfortunatly not. The drop of Design View in 4.7 is, unfortunatly, the decision that will break the developers will. When we consider the reasons why a developer of RIA uses flex, it is the speed of developing the screens and layouts. Design View is a key to this. No design View = no future for the product. Makes you wonder why they even bothered open sourcing the FLEX sdk.
Consider this. every, EVERY... IDE, Windows, OSX, Android Qt, etc development tool has a design view. Without it, your nothing but a interesting technology with productivity issues that leads you to never using it.
And that is where we stand now going forward with Flash Builder...
I understand that 4.7 is likely more for the game developers and design view is less important however... read on..
We are now at the cross roads where, as some one who has been holding onto Flash as other tool sets do not compare. Well. now they do, and in some ways even better.
This decision will likely force the bulk of those holding on of the flash life boat to swim to another. It will be such a distastful action to actionscript developers that even the flash Gaming plaltform efforts will likely be terribly damaged if not made irrelevant.
You need a community of active developers utilsiing that technology if you plan to make it a vilable platform. Especially for games as its so fickel.
Killing of the quiet but arguably the most lines written protion of the development base.. Custom RIA apps.. You know not what you have done.
Deisgn View does not need to do everything, but it needs to be there, so layouts are quck and easy to modify. It needs to be supported again ASAP, or open sourced ASAP. A decision has to be made, otherwise.
Adobe Flash team, guess you'll be moving to the HTML5 dev teams in the very near future. (Or look for a new job..)
James

I think this has already been discussed, but I agree that dropping design view is a big problem. There's a lot of propagandists in IT, sadly, who have ulterior motives when they discuss technologies because they want to promote their own horse in the race. Attacking Flash (or Flex itself) was one type of dishonest behavior, but I guess another that applies to the Flex community itself was propagating the myth that "nobody uses design view", despite not having a shred of objective evidence to say this (that I've seen). DV was the #1 thing that made FB stand out over other IDE alternatives, without it you might as well end the product line and let the current alternatives move in.
I don't think DV can be made open source for technical/legal reasons. And to be honest, it is a bit bloated & buggy anyway, so I don't care because I think it needs a re-do. But I do hope someone (either Apache or Adobe, although the latter is probably a fantasy) realizes that developers doing serious UI work (something more complex than a mobile phone app with 4 buttons) require some method of rapidly prototyping and visualizing their UI. Silverlight has Expression Blend and Sketchflow, JavaFX has Scene Builder, GWT has some design tool -- Flex needs to maintain something. Probably the main thing keeping me in the Flex realm is just a form of "vendor-lock-in" now.
Design View doesn't need to be a "design without code" solution that lets you specify every possible component attribute, align text, and specify a data source. We can do that in MXML, and we can read ASdocs or use autocompletion just fine. What's needed is an intuitive, fast, reasonably reliable way to visually confirm component layouts, with accurate styles, sizing and scrollbars. The most essential user interaction is probably sizing & positioning of components and containers. Maybe with some limited label/text setting shortcuts to help non-developer designers. It doesn't need to be a plugin or built on Eclipse or anything overly bloated like that, a small standalone app that just does the essentials well is fine--even an AIR app.

Design View Has Caused A Serious Problem

I run FB4 on OS X Currently if you view any file in Design View it crashes FB. Unfortunately when I reopen FB if I open the file I need to work on in MXML editor, it defaults to design view and this crashed FB.
This is a huge problem, I'm in the middle of working on an invoice generating program right now that needed to be done yesterday.

Also, to reset the initial active editor:
1) Open, or create a new, MXML file that you know won't crash
2) Switch to Source view
The next file you open will open in Source view. This should let you open the file you're having trouble with.
Also, you can edit the stored preference C:\Users\username\Adobe Flash Builder 4\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.adobe.flexbuilder.mxml.editor .prefs and change the value for "lastEditorView" from "Design" to "Source".

Can not see two fields in Crystal 2008 Developer explorer/designer view

I am currently developing crystal 2008 reports against the salesforce.com database using version 12.0.0.683 CR Developer Full version. I am using an updated driver that was provided in July or Aug 08 in order to view self referencing fields. The problem is that when I try and report against one of the tables (lead history) I cannot view two of the fields (New Value and Old Value)? I can see these two field (New Value and Old Value) in the database expert as the last two fields in the actual table, but the two fields are missing when I go into the explorer/designer view. In Salesforce, these two fields can not be filtered on, but I can export all the values in this table using Salesforece Apex data loader.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the OnDemand Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Unable to view php files in Design View?

Need help! I cannot select design view when working with a PHP document, the DesignView option is disabled?
My information.
- Dreamweaver CS5
- Mac OSX 10.6 snow Lepoard
I have searched online and I also went through the FAQ but couldn’t find anything relating to this particular issue and my Professor at school said that I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available but all that I would see in Design View are the HTML elements within the PHP file.
The Design View button is disabled, I can not click on it all and so for my class assignments. I have to copy the PHP code into a new HTML document and only then am I able to view the html/php and edit the HTML elements, and then copy and paste it back into the PHP file once I have the html elements/design set up correctly.
I did a similar “Set up PHP for Mac OS X – MAMP” to the version available here, could I have set this up incorrectly and that is why Design View is disabled?
Thanks I appreciate your guys expertise and any help!

Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / Editors from the Category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT listed among the filename extensions in "Open in code view".
Adding a filename extension to that list prevents files from being opened in Design view.
