Well I tried it.... almost a complete disaster... During installing FB4 it asks you whether you want the plugin installed into a version of Eclipse other than the bundled version, I said yes as I use a version of 3.4.2 which is configured as I want and has all my other flex and non-flex stuff that I need already added in.
What I didn't appreciate was if I said yes I would no longer be able to load FB3, and even worse FB4 wouldn't run anyway, when eclipse loads I get loads of errors message about wrongly configured Adobe plugins and it cant even load an editor to display AS files. Seems only to work with the bundled version currently. I tried to revert the config but that didnt fix it, so in the end I had to uninstall FB4 and then reinstall it and this time only use the bundled version of eclipse. Its a major pain to have to now go through and try and add in all the plugins I usually use with eclipse, then set them all up, particularly some of the java and db plugins, at the end of the day not sure its really worth all the effort. --- In [email protected], "Alex" <alex.id.ciob...@...> wrote: > > You will most probably have no problems building with a 3.x SDK under Flash > Builder 4 beta.
