Hi:
I've got a MacBook Pro I've set up with a couple of User accounts for myself. I
installed and
launched the standalone version of FlexBuilder on my main account (I installed
FB into an
Applications directory above the level of the Users directory).
Then I logged into the other account and tried to launch FB, but it won't
launch, and
generates an error message directing me to look at a log file. Examining the
log, this is
some of what I see:
dhcp-98:/Volumes/Muninn/Applications fluid$ cat Adobe\ Flex\ Builder\ 2/
configuration/1168998280031.log

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The platform metadata area could
not be
written: /Volumes/Muninn/Users/wruth/Documents/Flex Builder 2/.metadata. By
default
the platform writes its content
under the current working directory when the platform is launched. Use the
-data
parameter to
specify a different content area for the platform.
Anyone else run into this? Is this some sort of licensing check? I though about
trying to
launch FB providing the -data flag -- how would I supply this arg to FB through
the
terminal?
I'd like the ability to run FB from multiple accounts on my machine w/o having
to install
multiple instances of it...
Thanks for any pointers!
