Eclipse + Flex Builder Plugin + RDS

Hi All,
I've got a strange problem with Eclipse and the Flex Builder
and RDS plugins. I configure the RDS connection in
Window->Preferences->RDS Settings however when I Test the
connection I keep getting the error message "Unable to contact RDS
server 'localhost'". I have the settings configured exactly the
same as they are in HomeSite+. HomeSite+ can connect fine, but
Eclipse cannot!
Has anyone come across this issue or knows of a workaround?
Do I have to install something in a particular order?
Thanks for any help.

Could you please let me know the CF version, install
configuration and OS? CF versions 6.1 and prior are not supported
by the RDS plugin.
We had a similar issue in beta 1 that got fixed and it was
related to the password. If the CF version is not the problem,
please email me your RDS password directly at [email protected] I
know you tried using no password - did you mean the server admin
password or the RDS password (you cannot have a blank RDS
password)?
The order of installing plugins doesn't make a difference.
Thanks,
Farah

Getting the Flex Builder Plugin for Eclipse

I may be a dope, but I can't tell you how long it took me to
find the download for the Flex Builder plugin for an existing
install of Eclipse. If you're looking for the plugin, go to the
last line of the FlexBuilder standalone download page--and then, in
the last line, you will see a link buried in the line--click on
that, and you will get the download. Adobe, this is really, really
stupid way to organize your downloads.

Ha, I'm not alone ;)
Thanks for pointing it out. It might seem obvious once you
notice the link, but I totally missed it.
The Adobe flex builder rips off numerous useful features that
eclipse offers, such as the ability to search all files, and it is
very inconvenient.

Eclipse +flex 3 plugin crashes when trying to see mxml file in design mode

Hi,
I have strange problem I've been struggling with for 3 days.
I have eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-win32(eclipse europa 3.3.1.1)
+ adobe flex 3 eclipse plugin.
My workspace consists of several projects + one library.
There is not problem when trying to edit any mxml file when
my library is not imported yet. Once I import it to my workspace I
cannot see any mxml file in design mode since it crashes with the
following msg in log:
Did anyone have similar problem and maybe knows the
solutiuon? I've reinstalled/redownoaded eclipse, flex plugin, flash
players and so on. What's more it happens only on my machine - same
project on different one works without crushing.

I've found solution by myself so I'll present it here. Maybe
someone will need it.
The problem of such behaviour was that Flex plugin always (at
least on my pc) wants to ustart eclipse using its own JRE from here
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre (default dir).
This environment is Java 5. When you go to
eclipse>window>preferences>Java>Installed JREs and you
delete default Flex JRE, add new to point to for example C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 eclipse still uses JRE from C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre. Do not know why
Flex/eclipse does that but if you simply overwrite C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre files with newer JRE from
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 all works perfectly.
Hope it helps somebody ;-)
thanks Artur

Difficulties using Flex Builder plugin version

The strangest thing just happened. I want to look into Zend, so after reading a bit on the web I decided to uninstall Flex Builder 3 standalone version and install Eclipse 3.4 and then install the plugin version of Flex Builder 3.
But after I installed when I click on the Run button I get an error message:
'Launching cmd' has encountered a problem.
Variable references non-existant resource :
${workspace_loc:/Misc/src}
I assume this is because users need prior experience with using Eclipse, but I don't understand why the Adobe plugin version of Flex Builder cannot be such that it just works out of the box.
I have to say I am blown away by this and will immediately uninstall the plug-in version and re-install the standalone.
Any hints on what went wrong? I may try this again sometime but I want to get some work done tonight and I don't have time for this. Really amazed.

Hi Greg,
I am using the Flex Builder plug-in and I don't remember ever running over this. You said that you have uninstalled Flex Builder before installing Eclipse. I'm not sure ( this is only a guess ) but what if certain setting that you had in Flex Builder remained on your system ( like the path to your workspace that I think got deleted when you uninstalled it ) and when you installed Eclipse, then it was trying to access the information previously stored by Flex Builder.
I'm not sure if that's what the Error says but you might want to check if you workspace still exists and if it does, then does it contain a folder called "Misk/src". I really don't remember running over this error, the Plug-in worked just fine for me.
With best regards,
Barna Biro

Fonts in Flex Builder Plugin

Hi,
I'm using Eclipse with Flash Builder plugin. It appears that there are only a handful of fonts in design mode. Is it possible to increase the selection? Thanks.

This is a list of the most common device fonts present on all platforms, which is why it is short.
If you want more choice, use embedded fonts:

Eclipse/Flex Builder Getting Slower

As my project has grown it has become increasingly very slow
to even move around in the editor. Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds
just to move the mouse cursor from one line of code to another.
I am running it on a pretty beefy machine.
When this happens I usually notice that javaw is eating up a
ton of cpu cycles.
Anyone else dealing with this or have any ideas?

Do you notice the slow down for all projects or for a
specific project?
You can try bumping up the -Xmx512m to -Xmx768m or -Xmx1024m
in FlexBuilder.ini file.
This file is located under Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\
Also if your project has grown very large, it may help to
break it into smaller libraries and project.
Also if you are not using Flex Builder 3, you should consider
using it (there are some performance improvements in flex builder
3)
Thanks,

Searching Flex Builder Pro. 3.0.2 Plugin for Eclipse

Hello,
im searching a Download Link for Flex Builder Pro. 3.0.2 Plugin for Eclipse.

Moving this discussion to the Flex Builder Plugin forum.

Unable to download Flex Builder 3.0.2 Professional Eclipse Plug-in Trial

Since yesterday I am unable to download the Flex Builder plugin for eclipse, having tried all the combinations of Language/OS available for this product, browsers and two different PCs at my home.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flex_eclipse
Using the link above the case is always the same no matter what browser/computer. After the "Download" button is pressed the website "freezes" for about 30 seconds, then it refreshes and soon an email message arrives with the title
"Helpful links and resources for your Flex Builder 3 Professional Trial".
Furthermore when I visit a link provided in the email Getting Started - Flex 3 Getting Started - Adobe Learning Resources, all the hyperlinks such as Watch, Full Tutorial, Download Project, PHP and Java will simply redirect me to the very same page (i.e. the one provided in this sentence).
I'd appreciate any help given on this matter, thanks.

I had the same issue and ended up installing another eclipse
installation with no add-ons (unzipped the zip file in a different
location). I will then start adding the plug-ins that I am missing
now.
So basically I had to do a brand new install of Eclipse,
which almost defeats the purpose of the plug-in
Hopefully, the Adobe folks will fix this bug.
I had the CFEclipse, JSEclipse and MyEclipse Plug-ins on V3.2
installed.

Problems with Flex builder upgrade

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my copy of Flex Builder to
2.0.1 so that I can install the Apollo plugin, but when I run the
upgrade the wizard says it cannot find the correct folder
apparently it does not contain the plugin and features folders, but
I know it does I can see them. I have installed Flex builder on the
D drive of my PC, I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problem.
I also have a copy of Eclipse 3.2 with the Flex Builder plugin
installed, which does have the Apollo plugin working, but I'd like
to have the full Flex builder working so I can use the RDS plugins
to view my databases, which doesn't work in Eclipse 3.2.
So what is the best place to have Flex Builder installed so I
can get Cfeclipse, RDS and Apollo plugins to work?
Thanks
Stephen

Is Flex Builder running? In Beta 3 we have a problem in that
we were opening the Help in an external browser, which stays open
when you stop Flex Builder (which, in turn, stops the Tomcat
instance that runs the Help).
For final, we'll rever to using the internal browser window
by default, which closes when you close Flex Builder.

How to get WTP on my Flex Builder 3 Standalone Version: 3.0.214193?

Hello All,
I have downloaded the Flex builder 3.0.2 from the adobe website, and am trying to install the WTP plugin for it.
When i use this link http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ for getting the plugin it throws the error as :
Java Persistence API Tools (2.1.1.v200902200210-7A79BjDZRDE7GUMQDJGD) requires feature "org.eclipse.platform (3.4.0)", or compatible.
Any many more like this. I know my eclipse plugin version is 3.3 version.
I am not sure how can i upgrade my eclipse which came with Flex builder standalone to the 3.4 version. And also is it possible to use standalone only as using the flex builder plugin in not an option for me right now.
Or any other way if i can use Tomcat from Flex builder without using WTP ??
Please help

I've installed and it works fine but I've many plugins installed.
Try to install WST (Web Standart Tools) throw FB and after that install WTP.
For intalling WST follow this.
In FB menu.
Help - Software updates - Find and install...
"Search new features and install" Next
"Europa Discovery Site" Finish
Choose any nearest mirror for your location.
Find "Web and JEE Development" folder.
There are "Eclipce XML Editors and Tools" and
"Web Standard Tools (WST) Project" check them to install. This plugins requier some other plugins, so it's easer to click "Select required" button on left side to check them all automaticaly.
After that standart installing procedure: Licence agreement, downloading and so on.

Jazz and Flex Builder 3

(I've also posted this in the forums over at
jazz.net)
I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to work with Rational
TeamCentral (the beta client for the Rational Jazz system). Jazz is
an IBM Rational project to build a scalable, extensible team
collaboration platform for integrating work across the phases of
the development lifecycle. Alas, I'm running into some problems
under Windows. I'm doing all this with TeamCentral Beta2a, BTW.
My first approach was to unzip the Beta2a client on my
Windows laptop and install the Flex Builder 3 plugins. In this
configuration I was able to get Jazz to work, but whenever I try to
build anything using Flex I get what looks like a Xerces versioning
problem. Here's a part of the exception I get whenever Flex tries
to build anything in this configuration:
ENTRY com.adobe.flexbuilder.project 4 43 2008-03-02
09:31:11.062

My next attempt was to use my Macbook and install the
TeamCentral client with the Flex Builder 3 plugins (same
configuration that I had just tried on Windows). This worked
perfectly - both Jazz and Flex were very happy, and I could be
productive here. Unfortunately, most of my team members are Windows
developers, so this is not a viable solution for them.
Now back to Windows. I installed the Flex Builder 3
standalone eclipse instance and noticed that it uses Sun JDK 1.5,
so I wondered if the JDK was the culprit. I replaced the JDK to use
the IBM 1.5 JDK (same as TeamCentral Beta2a). The standalone Flex
Builder 3 worked.
My next experiment was to use the Sun 1.5 JDK on TeamCentral
with the Flex Builder plugins. The performance seemed very
sluggish, but Flex seemed happy. Jazz was a different matter. I
could connect to a repository and connect to a project area, but I
couldn't do anything after that. I couldn't see any workspaces that
I had, nor could I look at streams, work items, etc.
I'm out of things to try at this point. My ideal solution
would be to figure out how to resolve the Xerces incompatibility,
but I'm open to any other ideas that people might have. We've
discussed the idea of having separate Jazz and Flex instances
running to get the Jazz features, but running both Eclipse
instances is quite expensive resource-wise, so an integrated
solution is the best.
Thanks in advance!

Extending flex builder

I am trying to extend the flex builder plugin as well as fix
some bugs/features in it that do not work with my current project
setup. I am looking for resources (in addition to those in the
eclipse help) that will help me start working in this direction. If
anyone knows of any, they would be a great help. I would also like
to contribute anything I do back to the community. Where would be a
good place for this?

File->New->MXML Component. Or create an Actionscript
component and extend a UI component.
Those components will then show up under 'Custom' in the
Components pane.
