Well, that's no different from any other upgrade, though. If Dreamweaver CS4 works better than Dreamweaver CS3, I can upgrade or not, right? And it'll have to go through the same approval process, I would think, right? In any case, I strongly suspect that your Tivoli package was the problem. Perhaps it didn't set environment variables properly, or something. I've never had memory problems with Eclipse, from 3.2 to the current version - the only reason I've upgraded is because Eclipse itself has added new, useful features. > Another part of the problem, is that its open sourced (security risk, > unknown and unfamiliar vendors). Open source is a security risk? Really? That's just a bizarre statement to make. I grant you that there's no one you can sue, but Eclipse is a known quantity, and it's used in environments that I can guarantee with certainty are as secure as yours. > Also its essentially two applications working together for a single user > experience.

If you were using the integrated install option, I don't know why you'd have to bother telling them anything other than "it's FlexBuilder 3". From the end-user's perspective, when you install it with the integrated installer, there's no clear separation between FlexBuilder and Eclipse - you just run setup.exe and click next over and over again just like any other Windows application, and all the files get dumped in one directory. I prefer installing FlexBuilder as an Eclipse plugin because I'm already using Eclipse. But if that's not the case, you really don't have to worry about it. > OK, I don't know why I'm still defending myself and talking about it. :) Me neither, except in the hope that it'll be helpful to someone. I can only ask you to remember the glory that was FlexBuilder 1.0. Yecch.
