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

  • Flex Builder 3 trial expired

    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.

    Yes I tried that to work around my problem Flex Builder

  • 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.
    As my company is a partner of Adobe, I have serial numbers to
    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 :
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
    The point is I will need Flex Builder after these 57 days.
    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
    Cosma

    I 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.

    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.

    We are using Flex SDK 3.5 and using eclipse to build the war in order to make it automation compatible , Right now we tried with Premium version of Flex Builder 4.5 eclipse plugging to build and make application automation capable. But we are facing issues in terms of license , After deploying the automation compatible build we are getting error message "License not present.  With the trial version only limited replays are allowed".
    Previously we are using Flex Builder 4.0 and everything was working fine .
    Is Flex Builder 4.5 doesn't support SDK 3.5 ?
    Please help .
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks and Regards

    with trial version (FB basic) you can record/replay only 30
    script lines. You need to buy FB pro license to remove this
    restriction
