Re: [flexcoders] FB2 :: Switchig Workspaces
Hi Mike, Glorious day! :) FB2 is a full version of Eclipse. It is just Adobe's own distro (think of the many Linux distros). So you can have all your features, plug-ins and everything else and not lose any functionality. I think the goal of making Flex Builder a plugin was so that everyone who has already been using Eclipse doesn't have to change their existing setup. I think an Adobe personnel would have to tell us if they hard wired anything in their distro. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have Eclipse installed and used the plugin for beta2 but, since I mainly use FB2 for component development I didn't see a need for the full meal deal. Am I wrong here? I asked this question awhile ago and remember someone saying that if you need certain things from Eclipse, use the plugin. I really am not an Application dev, so I didn't see the need. As far as I see it now with the standalone, using different workpsaces limits all the different projects that I don't want to look at given my current component development set. Peace, Mike -- Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough.

[flexcoders] FB2 :: Switchig Workspaces
Hello, Could anyone shed some light on this for me? When you start Flex builder and have you default workspace located in MyDocuments, what is the difference between just creating a new project and setting the folder location in the Project Contents field and actually using File - Switch Workspace? I have not used eclipse enough to understand the actual difference of switching workspaces verses just not using the default file location. When you switch workspaces, FB2 restarts back to a fresh layout and the help comes up again. What is it doing? This would be a nice one to figure out.

Re: [flexcoders] FB2 :: Switchig Workspaces
a workspace is more of a saved setup, a collection of project metadata, has nothing to do with where your project files are actually stored. You may for instance have a workspace dedicated to Client 1 and one dedicated to Client 2, etc. Now for each workspace, your project files can be stored anywhere. points to note about the FB plugin: Don't set your workspace anywhere inside your webroot, causes problems. A neat thing about the FB plugin, if you set up your project as using remote services, when FB builds your project, it automagically copies all needed files to your webroot. (note that based on the above discussion your project will NOT be located in your webroot) ah the magik of Ant!
