Also Flex installs it's own JRE in the Flex install dir. No matter if you choose the PlugIn version or the full builder. However according to Adobe Flex will also run with the JRE 5.0 so you can remove the Flex JRE if you like and redirect any path to a installed 5.0 one (env vars on Windows etc).
However: I'm using Eclipse 3.2 and the Flex Eclipse PlugIn version and JRE 5 and I have to say that Flex 2.0 is not fully compatible with Eclipse 3.2+ (or JRE 5??). For example after working for a while in Eclipse , code hinting and typing support (keyword suggestions etc) stop working, especially when having more than one project is opened. When that happens I have to close and reopen Eclipse. Has anyone experienced similar problems? I do hope that this got fixed in 2.0.1 and they made it more compatible with Eclipse 3.2.x!

It's the same installer, just a different option right at the beginning. Also, 2.0.1 was released very very late last night, but then it turns out that it wasn't, exactly. The Mac version seems to be out, but the Windows version is missing in action. Here's my parody of what I think happened: 1/4/2007 @ 11:01 CST Adobe Employee 1: "Ok, Flex 2.0.1 has been launched! We can all go home now!" Adobe Employee 2: "Great! Let's test the download links, make sure they're working." ... Adobe Employee 2: "The Windows version doesn't seem to be downloading properly. It's still the old one." Adobe Employee 1: "What Windows version?" Adobe Employee 3: (from across the room) "I thought you were writing the Windows version." Adobe Employee 1: "Since I got my MacBook Pro, I haven't been using Windows. Why would I be writing the Windows version?" Adobe Employee 2: "We *all* got MacBook Pro's. Has anyone been using Windows?" Yes, I'm certain that the entire Flex team was blinded by the goodness of Apple's hardware and software that they clean forgot to produce 2.0.1 for Windows :) Shan dorkie dork from dorktown wrote: It took me a while to get Eclipse 3.2.1 up and installed the way I want it (newbie to eclipse) and I would like to install the Flex Builder plugin but I don't want to screw up my existing setup. I'm running the installer and it looks like it will over write the Java Runtime Environment. This page has a install guide, "To install Flex Builder 2 Eclipse plug-in:" but it doesn't mention anything about if you already have Eclipse installed. http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/install.html> com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/install.html so in one word that sums up all my feelings, help! ps Flex 2.0.1 was released today!!! http://www.onflex. <http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/01/1-one-solid-flex-release-201.php> org/ted/2007/01/1-one-solid-flex-release-201.php
