Flex Builder/Eclipse code formatter plugin

I came across
FlexFormatter
today after searching far and wide. Installation is a wizz and
formatting options are customizable. Thought I'll give a heads up
on the forum since a search for "code formatting" turns up nothing
And, no, I'm not the publisher

Jason,
Yes you still need to purchase - you can install the product
as a full install, or as an eclipse plug in. Trying the 30 day
trial for getting your feet wet is the only option currently. Take
advantage of free training from total training:

Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin install

I am trying to install the Flex builder eclipse plugin and
when I choose the path to eclipse, the installer gives me a warning
the root folder must contain the subfolder configuration. My path
is /Developer/Applications/eclipse. there is a subfolder
configuration. I have permission to the folders. The gui installer
under the title "Please Choose an Existing Eclipse Folder" displays
"eclipse" in the folder "Applications" on the disk "Macintosh HD".
Is the installer looking at /Application, not
/Developer/Applications?

I installed the plugin on another eclipse and copied over the
adobe com folders and jars to the features, plugins, and
configuration folders of my eclipse install

Is the Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin Free?

I posted this quesiton in Flex Builder 2 forum but I thought
maybe it's a bit more appropriate here. If not I apologize.
I'm a total beginner to Flex and Eclipse but I'm just curious
if the Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin is free or do I still need to
purchase the $499 license in order to use it? I'm trying to figure
out what I'm going to use to build my Flex apps and I'd like a nice
IDE like Dreamweaver or CFEclipse with the nice prompts and other
features but $499 is quite steep just to get my feet wet.

Extending Flex Builder - eclipse plugin

I'm trying to find out more about writing Eclipse Plugins
that extend Flex Builder.
I've taken a look at the 'Adobe Flex Builder 3 Extensibility'
section of the Flex Builder help files and didn't find them that
helpful.
For example, at the moment I'm trying to get my new Eclipse
command to call the adt binary file in the user's chosen default
Flex SDK. So some immediate questions arise:
1) Which Flex or Eclipse class contains the filesystem
reference to the user's default Flex sdk so that I can call 'adt'
with user entered parameters?
2) Are there any tutorials or resources on extending Flex
Builder with custom Eclipse plugins apart from the limited Adobe
documentation?

ABAP in Eclipse, Code Formatter

I've recently began using ABAP in Eclipse.
One thing that bothers me is the default rules for how code is formatted (shift+F1 by default).
Does anyone know if it's possible to define custom rules for this formatting as you can with Java in Eclipse?

Hi Felix,
Thanks for your reply!
I did indeed check here but didn't find anything relevant. There are only two very limited options available. One regarding indentation and another that controls the case of variables and keywords.
What I'm specifically looking for (what I don't think we can do yet!) is a way to define my own rule-set for the formatter as you can in other IDE's. For example, using eclipse with Java, I can define a rule that will make { or } always move to a new line when present. Or for example, I can have the formatter always chain together similar variable declarations.

Use VSS or similar tool with Flex Builder 3 Profesional

Hi
I want to use Visual Sorcesafe or other similar tool with
Flex Builder 3. so that we can work in a team on single project.
Can anyone please give some ideas, that how can i do this.
Thanks & Regards
Ajay Dekavadiya

Almost anyone using this list is probably going to be using
CVS or SVN with Flex rather than Visual SourceSafe, as they are
free. You can get plugins for Flex Builder/Eclipse that integrate
CVS or SVN source code control into your project. Many projects use
SVN now, and on Windows TortoiseSVN is frequently used as a context
menu based way of managing changes in your source code repository.
You can do some googling for 'eclipse svn plugin', or I
believe CVS is built-in by default, which you would see under
Window->Preferences->Team->CVS in eclipse/FB.

Unable to set verbose stacktraces in Flex Builder 2.01

If I set the compiler option -verbose-stacktraces=true, in
the Problems listing in Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin 2.01, I get the
following error message:
quote:
configuration variable 'compiler.verbose-stacktraces' must
only be set once
This suggests that it is already set somewhere, but I can't
find it in the configuration files or in any gui option settings. I
would really like to get line numbers in the stack traces and by
default they don't seem to be turned on. Any ideas on how to fix
this?

I think your facing this problem for standalone FLEX application & for projects in workspace, Flex compiler is getting compiling information from
..\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\2.0.1\frameworks\flex-config.xml for such projects.
& for Web projects it refers project\WEB-INF\flex\flex-config.xml
You can try to modify setting in this file. Hope this will work for you.
Thanks.

Installing Flex Builder with MyEclipse

I am trying to get Flex Builder to install a plugin for
eclipse. I have read that the installer is having an issue seeing
the configuration directory, and there is certainly something wrong
with my install. The only solution I found online says that I would
need to, FIRST install eclipse 3.3.1, SECOND install flex and THIRD
install MyEclipse.
Well, I'm more then a little disturbed by this as I've
already got my IDE setup and working just the way I want it, and
really I'm just testing the capabilities of Flex for the "powers
that be". If it is a good tool, we will use it. But if this failure
to install is a precursor of things to come I'm going to have to
shoot it down since I'm the one whose got to use it.
Any suggestions? Perhaps there is some other support for flex
as well?
Thanks,
-Robert

Hi
Thank you for providing this workaround.

Basic flex builder download problem

I downloaded and used flex builder standalone trial version 3 days ago, before removing it to install flex builder eclipse plugin which is what I should have downloaded initially.
Now I keep getting a cryptic message ['an error has occurred'] when trying to download the plugin version. I know other people who are not having this problem. Is it caused by the fact that builder was already installed?
What is the quickest way of sorting it out from the UK?
Thanks

So it sounds like you had to create an Adobe account first.
Try going to the download page directly now

Flex Builder 3 Eclipse Plugin

Flex Builder 3 Eclipse Pluginのダウンロードができません。サポートが終了したのでしょか？

I'm not quite sure what has gone wrong here, but can you
please try launching with the "-clean" command line option? E.g.
from the command line:
eclipse -clean
or
flexbuilder -clean
Some background, in case it helps: Although I don't know why
this has happened, it appears that a DLL is missing. Almost all of
Flex Builder is written in Java, but there are a few bits of native
code. In your "plugins" directory (e.g. "C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\plugins", or ""C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\eclipse\plugins", something like
that) should be either a file or a directory called
com.adobe.flexbuilder.utils.osnative_3.0.*.jar (where "*" is a
six-digit number). Inside that jar file, among other things, should
be a file called os/win32/x86/JNIToNativeBridge.dll. Please note,
there are two plugins with similar names:
com.adobe.flexbuilder.utils.osnative, and
com.adobe.flexbuilder.utils.osnative.win. The one I am referring to
here is the one that does *not* have "win" in the name.
Eclipse caches lots of stuff; one thing it does is, if it
finds a DLL in a plugin, it sometimes copies that DLL to another
place, called the configuration directory. The "-clean" option
tells Eclipse to discard its cache.
Please let me know whether this resolves the problem.

Can't install Flex Builder 2 plugin in Eclipse 3.3/Europa

[I hope Adobe reads these forums. I tried to submit this as a
customer service request, but the customer service request form
kept telling my I had to enter my First Name, Last Name, and Email
address, even though I _had_ entered them!]
I can't seem to install the Flex Builder 2 plugin in Eclipse
3.3/Europa. I had it installed fine in 3.2/Callisto. I uninstalled
it from there, installed Europa, then tried to install the plugin.
After I selected the Eclipse folder, I got the error:
"Please choose an existing Eclipse folder (3.1 or greater) to
be updated. This folder must contain eclipse.exe and the standard
folder named "configuration"."
All three conditions (3.1 or greater, eclipse.exe and
configuration) hold in my case, so I don't know what the real
problem is.

Actually it's quite simple. But you have to be warned. This
doesn't guarantee a bug free Eclipse setup and it isn't supported
by Adobe in any way. It is how-ever your only shot at getting
Eclipse with Flex Builder 2 AND php-development support, as Zend
has stopped deploying the php-development-requirement for Eclipse
3.2 (or at least I haven't found it in their archives.)
Flex Builder 2 simply checks for some files to see if the
directory you want to install to exist, so it recognizes the
directory as an Eclipse 3.1+ directory. Eclipse 3.3 however misses
the file startup.jar. If you simply copy startup.jar from an
Eclipse 3.2 directory into the 3.3 directory, Flex Builder 2 will
install in the 3.3 directory.
Again. This is not supported in any way by Adobe.
For more info, Google on: eclipse-3.3 Flex-builder-2
startup.jar
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eclipse-3.3+Flex-builder-2+startup.jar
Kind regards.
PS. I would still like to have an Adobe Representative answer
the simple question: Is Adobe or is Adobe not working on getting
Flex Builder 2 to work on Eclipse 3.3? A simple yes or no will
suffice.

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.

Flex Builder vs Eclipse Plugin

Hi All,
New to Flex and am currently working on PHP and java projects
using Eclipse. I would love to be able to utilize one IDE for all
my projects but don't want to sacrifice solid Flex support (mxml,
design view ect...).
How does the Eclipse plug-in compare with Flex Builder (what
do I loose if I use the Eclipse plug-in)?
Any comments much appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg

Flex bulder seems to be just an eclipse installation with the
plugin already there for you, so you shouldnt loose anything by
using just the plugin
However i did find when using using the flex plugin in
combination with all the other development plugins i had going it
made eclipse grind to a crashing halt every 20mins. Increasing the
eclipse jvm memory limits helped, but didnt fully solve my crashing
problem
If you want to incorporate all your development into one
eclipse then increase the eclipse jvm memory and give it a try, if
it is going too slow then use the stand alone builder
