ColdFusion Builder and FlexBuilder 3 They do work together!

I like ColdFusion Builder and I have been using it for pure ColdFusion and CFML applications for a while but in my large application ( Flex 3 and ColdFusion 8 ) I was still using FlexBuilder 3 standalone with CFEclipse.

Previously I tried a few times to either get Flex 3 installed into ColdFusion Builder or vice versa or both as plugins to Eclipse. Turns out all I was doign wrong was not using Eclipse 3.4.2 which can be found here:

Eclipse 3.4.2

I then downloaded Flex Builder 3 and installed as a plugin and then ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 and installed as a plug in. No Error ont he install I was feeling good about this.

I launched Eclipse and imported my project and was very happy to now have access to Flex 3 and ColdFusion builder in the one IDE with no errors!

  1. I also added these setting to eclipse.ini from
    http://www.adrocknaphobia.com/post.cfm/update-your-coldfusion-builder-beta-settings-for-flash-builder-4-beta

    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m
    -vmargs
    -Xm512m
    -Xmx512m
    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
    -XX:PermSize=64m

  2. One more tweak, if I were you I might want to specify the Java VM. There is a tendency with Ganymede/3.4.2 to use the older JVMs, sometimes
    the one that comes with the Flex SDK. Can be
    a real bummer in performance.

    Go into Eclipse.ini and add this line if you want to :

    -vm
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\javaw.exe

    Hope this helps :)
