If you develop with Flash Builder and use WebORB, read on, you will greatly enjoy this new functionality. The functionality is not entirely new, we had the plugin for quite some time. The main problem most users have encountered with the plugin was the installation process. We have fully reimplemented the plugin and added better integration support in the product itself.
The plugin now can be installed using Eclipse’s standard plugin installation process. To get started, make sure to download and install the latest nightly build of the product (or version 4.5 once it becomes available). To install the plugin:
- From the main menu select Help and then ‘Install New Software’
- Enter the following address for the plugin’s “update site” and press Enter:
http://dev.themidnightcoders.com/fb
- Select the checkbox next to “WebORB plugins for Flash Builder”. The window in Eclipse/Flash Builder should look as shown in the image below:
- Click through the installation wizard to complete the installation.
- Click OK if you get a security warning saying the software is unsigned.
- Once the installation is complete Flash Builder/Eclipse will offer a choice of applying the changes or restarting the application. Make sure to choose the restart option.
For the instructions on how to use the plugin, see WebORB documentation:
