So after getting Eclipse 3.5 and Flex Builder Plugin for Windows to work last week, I dug in yesterday to get it working on my Ubuntu system. After reading an invaluable tutorial, I was still getting some odd errors where Eclispe appeared to recognize that Flex Builder was present (it was in the About Box), but I couldn’t get any MXML or AS editors to open. Poking in to the directory structure, I found that the $ECLIPSE_HOME/links/com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.link file was incorrect. It appears that Galileo requires the “path=” to be prepended to the path for the core plugin, but Adobe’s default install doesn’t include that part of the file. After adding “path=” to my link file, it fires up just fine. Still no design mode, but if we keep bugging Adobe about it, they might add it into Flash Builder 4 for Linux.
What is the syntax for adding “path=” to my link file ?
sudo ln “path=/home/sean/workspace” com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.linux.link
[...] Cure the “path=” issue: open the file {$ECLIPSE_3.5_DIR}/links/com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.linux.link and prepend the content with “path=”. Read more about that issue here. [...]
where do i find the “path” you where saying?… got a problem too on my eclipse and flex buildes im using ubuntu9.10 . i opend my eclipse IDE but i tried to create a flex builder file but can’t fin it on my eclipse. why is that?any suggestion to my problem?
