Title: Can't get Flex/Core to work
Post by: brebey on August 15, 2010, 10:32:26 PM

I've recently reinstalled WinXP, Eclipse Gallileo, and FlexBuilder 3  on my PC.  I can't get SlickEdit core to work in FlexBuilder3.  I'd appreciate some help getting it working again.

SECore seems to work in Eclipse,  but in FlexBuilder3 when I try to edit a file I get this error:

When I try to issue "Help|Software Updates|Find and Install|Search for Updates for the Currently Installed Features", I get this:

From FlexBuilder3, "Help|Product Details" yields this for Flex:

and this for Eclipse:

Can you post the .log file from the WORKSPACEDIR/.metadata/ directory so I can see the stack from the error?

Are you using the FlexBuilder 3 IDE or the FlexBuilder 3 plug-in installed into Eclipse Galileo?

Log file attached.

I'm using FlexBuilder3 IDE.

Thanks for the help!

Hmm...that's a strange error to have.  I have Core 3.5.1 running in FlexBuilder 3 here...so it should work fine.  How did you install?  Did the installation complete successfully?  If you go to where the plug-ins are installed (on Vista on my system it is at C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Flex Builder3\configuration\eclipse\plugins\) are all the SlickEdit plug-ins there?  Specifically is there a com.slickedit.core_3.5.1 plug-in with a SlickEditCore.jar in this directory?  How big is this file?

I got it to work, but it was pretty kludgy.  Your previous post prompted me to compare my Eclipse plugins directory with my FlexBuilder3 plugins directory, and I hand-copies all the com.slickedit.* directories from the Eclipse plugins directory to the FlexBuilder3 plugins directory, restarted FlexBuilder3, and SE works now. I don't know what went wrong, but it's working now.  Thanks!

Well I'm glad you got it to work, and yea...it does sound kludgy  :(.  I think it's probably because the current repository for Core 3.5.1 that you normally use to install Core via Eclipse is not really written for compatibility in the Eclipse 3.3-based install mechanism.  So it probably didn't work right.  You then bypassed the whole thing by just manually copying the plugins over.  You probably also want to copy the com.slickedit.* directories from features/.
