Mac Flash Builder Plugin Install Error 6 + FIX

Posted by brianr in eclipse, flash builder, mac on October 8th, 2010

I just received my new 17in MBP so I pulled down a new version of Eclipse’s J2EE IDE and installed Flash Builder Plugin.

NOTE: You need to use the Eclipse Galileo Packages and the Carbon Install in order for this to work since FB is not compatible with the latets Eclipse build called Helio — here’s a link to the exact version of Eclipse that I used.

After a seemingly successful installation I received the following error code when starting up Eclipse: Error 6. I googled around a bit and found this link with this important tid-bit that fixed my issue:

  • Reboot your Mac
  • Navigate to your installation folder under /Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in/install.support/AdobeFlashBuilderPluginSTIWrapperMac/
  • Run Install.app from that location, to make sure all the required runtimes are installed successfully.

The restart seemed to do nothing, but running the installer did the trick. Good luck!

Mac + Adobe AIR 1.5.1 + Flex Builder 3.0.2 + Flex SDK 3.3 = No Run or Debug Without This Fix; UPDATE

Posted by brianr in air, flex builder on July 30th, 2009

If you’re using a Mac and trying to build AIR applications with the following:

  • Mac
  • AIR 1.5.1
  • Flex Builder 3.0.2.214193
  • Flex SDK 3.3

You won’t be able to Run or Debug from Flex Builder and you won’t really get an error explainging why…here’s a list of instructions from the logged bug on Adobe’s Flex Bug and Issue Management System: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19707

NOTE: If you just go to run the AIR app with this setup it’ll silently fail…if you try to debug it you’ll get the following: “DEBUG: error dialog with text: “Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger. If the program is already running, close it before attempting to debug.

To fix it, follow these steps:

  1. Download the attached change.sh.
  2. Copy the change.sh into the root directory of the SDK, at the same level of the ant, asdoc, bin, frameworks, lib, etc. folders. This probably looks something like: “/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3.0.2 Plugin-in/Adobe Flex Builder 3 Plug-in/sdks/3.3″ or wherever you keep your Flex SDKs…
  3. Change the script to executable (chmod 755 change.sh) — open up terminal and cd to the directory where you just put the change.sh file and run the command in bold: chmod 755 change.sh
  4. Run the script (./change.sh) run the bold command in terminal to execute the script: ./change.sh
  5. Open up FB and create a HelloWorld AIR app and make sure the SDK for Flex 3.3 is selected for this project.
  6. Run the AIR app and make sure it opens.

Big thanks to Joann Chuang Anderson for this fix, as it was driving me nuts!
