Hi,

I downloaded Flex3 SDK and I would like to get started to try on Flex3.

Can anyone point me to tutorial for Flex3 and MyEclipse?

Also, how can I plug the Flex 3 into MyEclipse?
I have tried this address http://www.iterationtwo.com/fdsplugin/
but I have this error

Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access "http://www.iterationtwo.com/fdsplugin/".
Error parsing site stream. [The XML stream is not a valid default "site.xml" file. The root tag is not site.]

We don't have a tutorial for working with Flex3 and MyEclipse together.

Also, Flex builder is not certified to run with MyEclipse though some user have been able to successfully run these two together in the past.

You have to download and install Flex 3 in your local machine. If you have opted for the default path then it Flex 3 would be at the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in location.

Now from your MyEclipse Top Menu, Select Help->Software Updated->Add Remove Software.

Click on the button Add Software
Click Manage Sites
Click Add
Select Local and Browse to your Flex Installation Folder. Then select the Flex Update site. For example for me it was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\com.adobe.flexbuilder.update.site"
Once selected then hit OK button and then follow the on screen instruction and Flex 3 options would show once you restart the MyEclipse.

I hope it will be helpful.

I'm having problems with updating when I install the Flex Builder 3 plugin in my MyEclipse v.7...
anybody can confirm that he's using the two (fb 3 plugin + MyEclipse 7) together without any issues perhaps?

If I deinstall FB3, I can do the upgrades again and reinstall FB3 plugin though.

Thanks!

JochenAtTradelec,
I haven't come across other users reporting this issue but if you could uninstall FB3 and then upgrade and reinstall FB3, I guess your good to go again.

Hi,

I posted a response to this in another thread, but basically, I had to install the Flex plug-in to a "temp" directory on the Mac, then go into MyEclipse and add a local site.

From there, I drilled down (in the local site) until I saw the Flex 3 plugin. Then, install the plug-in into (My)Eclipse like any other.

Once I installed it, I deleted the temp directory (which didn't cause any problems for me).

The real problem I had was that, on the Mac, there doesn't seem to be an "Eclipse" folder with a "configuration" folder beneath it, so the Flex installer coughs up a hairball right away.

Navigating to one of the MyEclipse folders with a "configuration" folder beneath it didn't work (Flex installer warned me that I hadn't selected the right directory), hence the manual steps I did above.

(I tried installing the Flex 3 plug-in using the MyEclipse configuration directories anway, despite the Flex 3 installer warnings, but those installs failed.)

However, once installed, the plug-in seems to work fine....though I haven't checked to see if my MyEcilpse perspectives still work... :(

HTH.

Did you use flex in your myeclipse??

Yes, once installed the Flex and the Flex perspectives work fine. I can create a project, add code, use the design view...create a SWF file...the works.

I have been using FlexBuilder 3.3 and recently moved to FB 3.4 (and BlaseDS) using MyEclipse 6.6. I just tried (unsuccessfully) to upgrade to MyEclipse 8.x for its WTP support, which I REALLY need, but it could not find the Flex plugins (basically it could not open an .mxml file, lots of errors, etc). I would REALLY like a tested version of MyEclipse that will work with FlexBuilder 3.4 and WTP. The last version I have been able to get MyEclipse and FlexBuilder to play nice together is MyEclipse 6.6.

In any event, if it helps anyone, my working configuration is as follows, but one catch is I am also running Cygwin.

1.) I have MyEclipse installed at C:\Program Files\MyEclipse 6.6
2.) I have FlexBuilder installed at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in
3.) Because I am using Cygwin, had to copy the framework directory to a location cygwin could read it. Copied C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.x to C:\cygwin\opt\FlexFramework3.4
4.) Copy flex-config.xml to core-config.xml (frameworks directory)
5.) In flex-config.xml, comment out the following segment (locale related path-element):


<library-path>
<path-element>libs</path-element>

<path-element>libs/player</path-element>
<path-element>libs/player/{targetPlayerMajorVersion}</path-element>

</library-path>

6.) My workspace is C:\cygwin\home\amb\<myProject>

7.) You might need to link FlexBuilder as an eclipse extention. You can do this manually by launcing Eclipse and invoking Help > SoftwareUpdates > Manage Configuration. Select "add an extention location". Browse to the folder you have FlexBuilder installed in (i.e. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\eclipse). Restart Eclipse.

Hope it helps and please, please, please, can we have a version of MyEclipse that works with WTP and FlexBuilder. I'd volunteer to be a field tester using it in day to day life.

Aaron,
MyEclipse has WTP integrated in it and thats the reason you cannot install WTP with MyEclipse since that causes a WTP conflict. I would still go ahead and file this as an enhancement request.

Post subject: MyEclipse 6.6 and FB3

While looking for information to setup MyEclipse with FB3 plugin , I found not so satisfying answers on google and finally being led here. Good news is that I worked it out on my own and I am going to share the details so others can configure MyEclipse with FB3 and be happy that its not such a big deal .

First things first :

Now the good stuff :

Thats as simple as it gets. Hopefully you will see this post in time and not bang your head against walls for not finding good information in search engines on this topic.

Thanks for the tutorial. This tutorial details the steps required to create a fully functional SpringSource certified Java Spring Flex web application using MyEclipse for Spring.
