Flex Builder requires users to remove packaged eclipse
I have Sun Java 5, Eclipse, and Firefox 2 installed through
my distro (Ubuntu 7.10).
After installing FlexBuilder via sudo, launch Eclipse shows
no differences. Opening a Terminal and running
./Adobe_Flex_builder.sh fails with the following error message:
Standalone player is available under and will be used from
/opt/Adobe_Flex_Builder_Linux/Player/linux/flashplayer
Plugin flash player is available under -
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and the same is set to MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
./Adobe_Flex_builder.sh: 73: cannot create temp.txt:
Permission denied
./Adobe_Flex_builder.sh: 74: cannot create temp1.txt:
Permission denied
cat: temp1.txt: No such file or directory
./Adobe_Flex_builder.sh: 93: /eclipse: not found
I am not going to remove my properly packaged, updatable
Eclipse to run a single-user FlexBuilder install.
Could Adobe simply provide a regular package for the distros
it supports? Asides from fetching Sun Java 1.5 and Eclipse as
necessary, it'd also avoid doing silly things like suggesting Flex
be installed in the root users home directory, and be a proper
multiuser app.
The whole 'installshield on Linux' thing is getting old.
Modern proprietary apps like Skype, VMware etc - provide packages
that can be installed and updated like every other app.

Ubuntu bundles Eclipse 3.2 which we dont support... If you
want you can
pickup latest Eclipse 3.3.x from eclipse.org and install the
same.
Packaged with OS, some of it may not provide latest
versions.. that
might be the catch?

Flex Builder 2 corrupting Eclipse 3.2.1
Flex Builder 2 has some issues with Eclipse 3.2.1. I was
working with the trial version, so maybe the full version does not
exhibit these same problems, but if that is the case, then it is
disappointing that adobe is trying to support two separate products
instead of trying to resolve issues.
The largest issue with the Flex Builder 2 plugin for eclipse
is that if you have a flex project in the same workspace as other
projects (like dynamic Java projects) the flex builder 2 will try
to incorporate those projects in to the flex project when you do a
build or a clean only on that specific flex project. As a result,
eclipse consumes enormous amounts of memory that even with 2 gigs
allocated to the heap, it runs in to out of memory exceptions
frequently and the stability of eclipse has degraded significantly
since I installed this product! The flex projects that I had loaded
were some of the examples dealing with SpringGraph so I would not
consider them as being large or complex. When there is a build
occuring on just a Flex Project, it SHOULD HAVE NO BUSINESS even
scanning other non-related projects regardless as to if they are in
the same workspace!!!
I am not too impressed with flex's interface with eclipse on
the memory, the instability it introduced to eclipse, or how
SpringGraph handles large graphs, so I did not pursue getting a
license for future development. I also felt that the asking price
for the Flex Builder 2 is steep for what you get and its maturity
level. As such, when the license expired, Adobe had the nerve to
disable core functionality within Eclipse!!! For example, it would
not allow a CSS document to be opened in the CSS Editor! It
Hijacked the basic Eclipse functionality!!!
I am very disappointed in how the Flex Builder 2 plugin for
Eclipse does not play friendly!
But at least it does allow itself to be disabled. I am
grateful for at least that level of accepted behavior.Cluebcke, thanks for the reply!
I am using a compaq nx7010 laptop with 2 gigs ram, 60 gig hd,
eclipse is set to utilize a minimum of 512 megs and a maximum of
1540 megs for the heap space. Virtual memory is set to a max of
4092 megs. Fairly generous I would assume. I doubt it was a
configuration issue, but hey, I’m open to learning and the
best lessons are through mistakes! ;-)
Sorry, I was being a bit sarcastic when I mentioned that
perhaps the issues were related to the free trial version knowingly
perfectly well that in fact there is no difference between the two
products. But I guess I was also conceding a possible out for Flex
too. Hmm...
To clarify my comment about aggressively compiling against
other projects:
1) I had about 4 demos loaded in to a workspace (269 files,
82 folders, and 7.2 megs including my 1 test project as mentioned
in item 4)
2) I had about 7 large Java projects loaded in to the same
workspace
3) Total workspace size was about 22,000+ files and 1600+
megs, give or take a fair number either way.
4) I was making changes to a simple flex project based upon
a SpringGraph demo
5) I choose to manually build only the small flex project I
was working on so as to replace all the generated files. NOTE:
Might have been a clean, but only on that one flex project and NOT
the whole work space. It takes too long to rebuild all of my other
Java projects so that option has been unchecked for quite a while.
6) What I saw in the Eclipse progress window was a list of
files within my flex project getting reconstructed, and then it
started to scan through the other projects too. All of their names
and resources were flashed within that window.
7) When finished with the build of the ONE flex project, the
Java heap was basically gone. Starting a TomCat server would cause
an out of memory exception. Recall I have allocated 1.5 gigs for
the heap.
8) Checking the other Java projects and Flex projects, the
timestamps on the objects did not reflect that they were just
rebuilt. They were untouched. Proof that I did not perform a build
or a clean over the whole workspace.
I agree with you whole heartedly that unless I explicitly
select “build all” or “clean all” it should
not touch other projects in anyway. But it did.
As far as the issue with the CSS editor, I understand and
accept your point. Perhaps as a friendly suggestion, when the trial
expires, the plugin should uninstall itself. This may be very
doable, and still have the functionality of a reminder and
reactivation upon registration if Flex Builder actually had a
second plugin called something like "FlexBuilder Registration"
which would "intercept" attempts to edit and utilize the
FlexBuilder only functionality so an informative message could be
displayed. The benefit would be that normal functionality for
non-flex resources such as CSS would return to normal.
Anyway, as I stated before, I was not too impressed with
performance of large graphs. What I consider to be large would be
on the magnitude of 20,000 to 100,000+. It would need to display
just about all nodes, or at lease an abstract relationship of those
nodes rolled up to a higher level. I realize that SpringGraph is
not ideal for those situations to begin with, but I was exploring
the idea of writing other plugins to deal with other graphing
formats.
I guess to be fair to Flex in general, I should probably ask
a general question of how well does Flex deal with large data sets
that need to be resident and the manipulations of those data sets?
Thanks for your time,

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 -
I installed Flex Builder 3 today (I already have Eclipse).
Fired up Eclipse, created a new Flex project and I immediately get
a message telling me my trial license has expired. I have never
installed it before. I have obviously done something wrong but
don't know what.
Don't who to turn to or who and how I should contact about
it. Any advice would be fantastic.
Thanks!Ah…I am sorry, I also noticed it wasn’t listed
after my post later in the night. Yes, Adobe employees do post on
these forums frequently so you should post here what OS you have
and if it’s a 32 or 64 bit.
Also they have a Trail Download Information page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/service/trial.html
I am not sure if that page will help you or not. Good
luck. -

Add SWC blows up Flex Builder 2.01
With Flex Builder 2.01 running as an Eclipse 3.2.2 plug-in
I'm trying to load SWC a produced by "Make Flex Builder" in Flash
CS3. The Eclipse error shows the trace below. I see essentially the
same traceback in
JIRA,
implying that perhaps the SWC is bogus, but I don't see any errors
when publishing in Flash CS3.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Is there any sort of stand alone SWC verifier/dumper around
that I could use to investigate the SWC? I tried abcdump on it, but
it says "unknown format 67324752".
In the meantime I guess I'll give Flex Builder 3 a
try...Well, I upgraded to Flex Builder 3 as an Eclipse 3.3.2
plug-in, and the problem went away. -
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,

Flex Builder serial numbers : how to enter them?
Hi,
I downloaded two months ago "Flex Builder alpha for Linux",
as an Eclipse plug-in.

register flex builder.
But I didn't find any way to enter those numbers.
Please help :)
Thanks.For the moment, only the alpha that I have is available :

How can I have a version without limitation (or with field to
enter serial number)? -
Flex Builder, debugger and web application: how?
Hello,
I'm traying to setup a project in eclipse with both a java
web application (servlets, jsp) and flex applications as a
frontend. So I installed flex builder as a plugin on an eclipse+web
standard tools, then created a WST web application project, and
used the "Add flex nature.." of the flex plugin. I don't want to
use the flex data services.
Now, in a standard run (I installed a tomcat 5.5 and
configured it in eclipse), my mxlm files are being correctly
compiled into swf, and they are successfully calling my servlets
(which simulates a backend xml-based interface).
I'm having problems in debug: if I launch the debug profile
related to tomcat, the normal version of the sfw will be used (even
manually switching to the "-debug" version, it says that a running
flex debugger has not be found on localhost). On the other way, if
I launch the debug as a "flex application", it seems to work (it
stops at breakpoints) but my tomcat is not started at all, the swf
is accessed as a local file and all call to my servlet will fail..
so it will stop working almost immediately.
There is a way to setup eclipse to start standard java
debugging with tomcat *and* the flex debugger?
Thanks
CosmaI found a workaround of sorts for the problem: don't
terminate the applications!
Previously, I would terminate the application using either
the Terminate button in the Debug view or by closing the tab in the
browser (Firefox). Now I just let them pile up in the browser and I
rarely see this problem.
In other words, I was having lots of trouble when doing
Launch-Terminate-Launch-Terminate... but now I just
Launch-Launch-Launch... and clean up once in a while. -

Thanks.You don't need BEA Workshop or IBM Rational Software. I think
it means that you can install Flex Builder plug-in on top of
eclipse/BEA Workshop/IBM Rational Software.
If you choose Flex Builder standalone, then you don't even
need eclipse. If you choose Flex Builder Plug in then you need
eclipse.

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. -
