Hi, do you know if it is possible to enter the serial number somewhere ? Some views are disabled without serial.
@Julien.Nicoulaud please log an issue with more details
No need to do that, since those views (profiler, request monitor) would not work anyway for now.
Hi, I'm using the alpha3 verson and got an error when trying to create a flex project.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError?: flex2/tools/oem/OEMException$CircularLibraryDependencyException?
with eclipse jee 3.5, and I downloaded the flex sdk 4.0.0.6898 from adobe since there is none in the package.
Hi, I'm using amd64 and a nfs folder, some libraries seem to be hardcoded (I've used getlibs) : /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: mauvaise classe ELF: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so

hi, how to get the pakage of FB4 linux?
真郁闷啊,你的博客和主机一值打不开,找遍天涯海角都找不到,真希望你上传一份到其他网站上,太需要这个FB了
近期将会恢复
the file had uploaded to ubuntu one,so mail to me for fileshare!
HOHO太感谢了,我的邮件 haiseezhou@gmail.com
Thanks for getting back online. I appreciate all the work

Hmm how to force this to enable code completion and so on. I have existing flex project, it opens my action script files in proper editor with syntax highlighting but no code completion (and ctrl-click to jump to other class) at all :(
check is some error exist?
Hi,
great job to make fb plugin work with x86_64 : no more ia32-java ! still the following error : no code highlighting in <mx:script> for default opened file after loading a workspace.
try <fx:Script>
Hi ..
I have eclipse galileo 3.5.2 on xubuntu and have just followed the installation instructions, but when i reboot eclipse, there is no sign of flash builder 4
What have i done wrong ? :o)
try to use the eclipse download from eclipse site
All links to the bz2 are dead. How about the files that are listed in the download section?
try to download again!
Is it possible to have a different mirror for this download?
I have the following issues: 1) Cannot see the components view. I get this: Could not create the view: (class: com/adobe/flexbuilder/mxml/editor/views/AbstractDesignOnlyView?$EditorListener?, method: attachToEditor signature: (Lcom/adobe/flexbuilder/mxml/editor/MXMLEditor;)V) Incompatible argument to function
2) I cannot debug. Complains that I am not running flashplayer in debugmode. How May I set this up ?
get debug version flash player from here http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, and component view can't work because the design view not work!
The links are dead. Is there somewhere else where the file can be downloaded?
镜像 http://mirror.apptor.cn/ 流量达到限额了,仅5月份的11天已经达到100G,换了个镜像,希望其他用户有条件的一起提供吧。 mirror http://mirror.haicho.info/FB4Linux_A3.tar.bz2
thanks haiseezhou,so can anyone give a mirror?
Just installed A3, Looks great!!
However when I compile my source into a swf file in FB4L and then load it up in Firefox, it is empty? Or I should say I get a blank page. If I compile the same source files I created in FB4L with the sdk's compiler, mxmlc and then load the swf file it displays and runs fine?
I'm on Ubuntu Lucid AMD64, using the 4.0 flex sdk, Eclipse Galileo, SUN jdk1.6.0_18
any ideas?
thanks so much for your great work on this. Hopefully Adobe will get the message that a licensed Flash Builder for Linux is really needed!
Bought a domain name in godaddy, mirror.haicho.info is godaddy's free hosting.
Installed the 3.5 Flex SDK and the FB4L generated swf file works!
Not sure whats going on with the 4.0 SDk and FB4Linux
The 4.0 SDk works fine in the WIndoze Flash Builder 4
try to set the framework rsl to merge to code
thanks haiseezhou's mirror,now the download switch to the google code downloads page of this project,thanks haiseezhou again!
我的eclipse 是 3.5.2的 按照这个做法 >right click->add->extension location->select the path :/home/feiy/FlexBuilder4Linux?
重启ecplise 没效果阿,
在install-log里面都是这样的信息 2010-5-15 14:36:57 Date / Time Target Action Status
都是空的 这是什么问题?》
I am confused, you said download the two files, but there is 6 to download, even tried merging the two files according to you instructions but to no avail. Tnanks for doing this though, we appreciate it. Hopefully Adobe will realize their mistakes soon.
the 6 file all is the fb4linux install file,because the install file too big the upload ,so split to six file
to @kejiqing,请详述安装过程
Hey, thanks alot for the great efforts but i have a problem with extracting the files i do the following after downloading the 6 files: cat FB4Linuxaaaaa >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 cat FB4Linuxaaaab >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 cat FB4Linuxaaaac >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 cat FB4Linuxaaaad >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 cat FB4Linuxaaaae >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 cat FB4Linuxab >FB4Linux.tar.bz2 after that i try to extract the created FB4Linux.tar.bz2 but it gives me the following errors when i try to open the file using archive manager : bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
im currently using lucid lynx any help is appreciated...thanks in advance :)
use:
the command will merger all FB4Linux File to one file
Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks for the help it worked :)
Could you provide somewhere the md5sum or the sha1sum of the merged file. This can help to identify what is the version of an archive.
Ubuntu 10.04, using your latest FB4Linux, installed eclipse 3.5.2 from synaptic,
error when adding in unzipped Adobe Flash Builder 4 folder. => Adobe Flash Builder Core Feature (4.0.0.272416) requires plug-in "org.apache.commons.lang".

Thank you for your great work!
Thanks a lot for this great work. Works fine on ubuntu 64 :)
After installing it, my shortcut ctrl+shift+r stopped to working properly, in error log the following warning appeared:

At least for me, this shortcut is extremely valuable, I'll try to figure out some solution and post back here as soon as I get it.

Works Good! Thank you very much!
I'm very happy for this, the auto-complete and documentation is all I need. Thanks a lot. No complains yet, working perfect.
Great work. I am also experiencing the problem that ctrl+shift+r stopped working. The logs show the same error as above by Sena.Pedro. I have tried this on both the Ganymede and latest Helios release. I have tried to add as user shortcut in the Keys of user prefs, but the error remains. This is a much used shortcut and it seems that there is a clash between the adobe and eclipse handlers.
Hi, I am unable to get this running, I am stuck with "Adobe Flash Builder Core Feature (4.0.0.272416) requires plug-in "org.apache.commons.lang"
Error for both is: "Adobe Flash Builder Core Feature (4.0.0.272416) requires plug-in "org.apache.commons.lang"
Well back to windows till anyone knows a fix for this.
guys you rock... mdea...
mr. Darcey - try other eclipse build.. i have eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz hope that helps
when i try to launch in flashplyer eclipse says - file not found : flashplayer, is there any dir where i need to put this file ?
FYI: For the ctrl-shift-r (open resource) problem see my comments in Issue 28
You can find complete instructions on how to install and use FB4Linux at http://www.brighthub.com/hubfolio/matthew-casperson/articles/78818.aspx
This includes a solution for the "org.apache.commons.lang" error that a lot of people have mentioned.
@rodislav -- Had the same problem. Needed to ensure that "flashplayer" was in my linux path...before even start Eclipse. That is, I had to add it to my ~/.profile and logout and login again.
Hi, I get it installed ok. But when I try to create a flex/J2EE project it throws an exception about constraints not satisfied. Any ideas? I'm using eclipse 3.6 (Helios), but also try 3.5 (Galileo) and jdk1.6.0_21 on debian squeeze amd64. Thanks on advance.
By the way, it works fine for Flex(alone) projects, the issue is just for Flex/Java projects. Thanks again.
Thanx !
This works really well in Eclipse 3.6.0. after following these instructions: http://www.brighthub.com/hubfolio/matthew-casperson/articles/78818.aspx
Had to restart Eclipse sometimes because editor wouldn't load files. After restarting everything works, for some hours. Runs and compiles much faster than FB on Windows!
This is fantastic. Great work.
After installing http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/ the editor problems seem to be gone in 3.6.0.
I created a torrent of my working installation on Ubuntu 10.04.1. Very easy installation, works on other distro's as well.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5847823 . If it doesn't start right away, just wait a little. Will be slow initially, please seed.

The Data Services doesn't work at all and there are display problems when accessing some of the project properties.
Ok, for those who's having problems installing FB4linux, just copy everything from the FB4LInux eclipse directory into the eclipse software directory and everything will work as expected.
Sorry for a newbie question. I installed fb4linux on eclipse 3.6. It worked ok. I can create a Flex project. But it does not compile to swf file in bin-debug folder (and also there's no html wrapper file, too). What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks.
I've fixed it. In the Flex compiler window, I change locale to en_US (initially, it was en_GB)
你好,我的是eclipse 3.6 系统所ubuntu 10.10安装你的方法安装好了,第一次试了下没问题,但是我重启系统后进入mxml文件中,在输入<mx:时候缺少很多组件的代码提示,只有<mx:Array/<mx:Boolean等等,这个怎么办呀?我记得之前是没有这个问题的。
You are a life saver. thanks so much for this build!
@HaiLeGia?
I have had the same problem with the eclipse plugin for windows too... (in my base it's en_GB... it seems eclipse auto-detects your region, while FB has disabled that and stays at en_US) It seems that any custom region must be changed back to en_US... is there any way to change the compiler default so I don't have to change that for every project i create?
I had the same problem with org.apache.commons.lang using Eclipse 3.5.2 . Using eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz and following the blog post everything worked like a charm. Thank you so much, guys, and a big screw you to Adobe for not properly supporting linux flash developers.
Benjamin, I so concur
I managed to install on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit with eclipse 3.5 32bit. I combined all the info in this article: http://www.len.ro/2011/01/fb4-on-linux/ maybe it will be of help. The only remaining problems are that I am missing the current line/column number in the status for the mxml view and eclipse does not exist properly and I have to kill the process.
guys this works awesome, even in my old laptop, you guys rock, thank a lot, just what I need it.
Hello All I get this error in eclipse: Flex 0.0 (1): Flex SDK location "/home/mbaddar/Downloads/sdks/4.5.0" does not exist. Red5_streaming_tutorialClient Unknown Flex Problem I really appreciate your help :)
是不是没有设计模式啊,安装后没找到设计模式 那样画界面就悲剧了啊
Hi, I am unable to get this running, I am stuck with "Adobe Flash Builder Core Feature (4.0.0.272416) requires plug-in "com.adobe.coldfusion.rds.client (1.0.225483)", or later version."
Hello, nice work and congrats. Now with my issue, I downloaded today and followed instructions. My environment: Unbuntu 11.04 32bits eclipse-SDK-3.7.1-linux-gtk latest fb4linux
After installing the plugin and restarting eclipse I get the following message:
An internal error occurred during: "Creating Adobe Flash Player trust file...". com/adobe/flexbuilder/project/playertrust/IPlayerTrustEvent
Hi guys,
I downloaded the installation files a merged into a bz2 file. My MD5 sum of all files matched. But I got the same error An internal error occurred during: "Creating Adobe Flash Player trust file...". com/adobe/flexbuilder/project/playertrust/IPlayerTrustEvent. Maybe that's can be a issue, for while I'm backing to burrito release... :-(
i am sorry!current released version is amd64 only,but i'll publish the version that support all architecture. thank!
Thanks eshang!
All works fine now! It is possible to put the flash player at Wine and work with design view? I saw Wine Bridge classes at repository. Do you have any tutorial about it? Maybe if it's possible we can do a wiki for that, my English is basic but I can help if you want.
in the current released,i have make a linux jni lib to replace the official win dll lib.now we need a way to call win dll in linux.maybe it is wine or some way like the mplayer.
thank you very much . I can run the app in firefox browser 。 but how to set it run in standalone flashplayer ? when I unSelected the html wapper . File not found: flashplayer
current don't support the stankolone flashplayer,waiting the update today...
run success on Ubuntu 11.10,thank you very much.
I don't know why, but after a period my connection with the debugger is lost. Using Kubuntu 11.04 x86.
PS: in the same way, I need to wait something near 20 secs to launch the browser when I click at the debugger button. I tried to change the browser, I received the same problem. Using Eclipse 3.6.1 and 3.7.1, the same problem...
Is it possible to have Flash Builder for PHP port for Linux?

Sorry. Do you know why I'm not able to see Window->Preferences->General->Capabilities in Eclipse Helios? Thanks in advance Bye
"Window->Preferences->General->Capabilities" available in "Classic" Eclipse version
thanks for this useful port of flex in linux , i have downloaded fb4linux and the Adobe Flex SDK 4.5, it works well in coding without mentions of errors , but when i run the app i have blank page and i can't debug the app the debugging stops in 57%. any solution ? i'm using ubuntu 11.10 eclipse indigo , Adobe Flex SDK url http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/download?build=4.5.0.20967&pkgtype=1 thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm running the plugin on a 64-bit Linux (OpenSuse?) machine with eclipse Helios (Service Release 2) and Flex 4.5.1 SDK. The plugin installation went smoothly. I then created a project but when I tried dragging the components into the design window, nothing happened: The components are not getting drawn and they don't show up in my .mxml either. Any idea what might be wrong ?
I have the same issue as the last 2. But if I do it via the sourcode and want to run it in my browser I get this.
an ActionScript? error has occurred: SecurityError?: Error #2148:
In an old wiki of yours you said to add the eclipse workspace to flbuilder_plugin.cfg or something. That file does not exist and how can I fix this? Plz help.
Thanks!
I have solved the Security issue by following this link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/421708
I only have one more issue, the design view isn't working. Does anyone solved that issue?
tks so much guys!
oh damn, I overlooked it's for amd64 (so 64-bit) only for now.
Might explain why I run into some problems on my i386-based 32-bit system...
Which one of the half a million variants of Eclipse shoudl I download?
Attempting to integrate FB4linx with Eclipse 3.7 through UI on Ubuntu 12.04 failed with:
Adobe Flash Builder Core Feature (4.5.0.308971) requires plug-in "org.apache.commons.lang".
However, it could be performed successfully by installing it manually in /usr/share/eclipse/dropins/ as per Eclipse doco
Hope it will help others!
BTW. Thanks for giving us FB4Linux; It would be nice if some improvements would be done to the install doco as the current one is outdated and incomplete.
