Installing ANT and Subclipse to Flash Builder release version
Oh my, it's been too long since I've written my previous blog post. Sorry about that. Anyway, I installed the release version of the Flash Builder and it seems to live up to it's promises. At least the most annoying bugs are gone, and overall the product offers a huge improvement to the Flash Development workflow. There was one issue though... the Beta release was built onto the earlier Eclipse version, but the release version comes is built on the Ecplise Galileo release. And at least in my installation the software update site list was empty. So installing ANT or Subclipse (the two most important plug-ins we use all the time) follows a slightly different route than in the beta version. So without further ado, here's how it goes:
Installing ANT on the Flash Builder (release version):
Go to Help > Install new software...
Click Add... to add a new software update site
Give the site a name "Eclipse Galileo releases" and location "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"
Select the site and find "Web, XML and Java EE Development". Open it.
Select "Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools" and put a check in front of it.
If there are more than one of those, just select the first one.
Click Next, accept the terms and off you go!
Installing Subclipse is done in pretty much the same way
- Go to Help > Install new software...
- Click Add... to add a new software update site
- Give the site a name "Subclipse 1.6.x". The Location is "http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x"
- This is basically what you need:
- Click Next, accept the terms and off you go!
Hope this helps you to transform more painlessly to the release version of the FB.
Cheers!
