Bill,
Did any errors get registered in the <workspace>/.metadata/.log file when you installed the plugin ?Hi Nipun & Bill,
I tried to do the same as Bill today: Install the Flexbuilder 3 plugin using my existing MyEclipse (6.5.0-GA – Pulse Edition) installation. I experienced pretty much the same. Everything starts fine, but there is no ‘FLEX perspective’ available after restart. Also, no errors in the <workspace>/.metadata/.log.
(The FB3 installer prompts for a Eclipse ‘root’ directory. In my case I used something like ‘C:\Users\stpe\AppData\Local\Pulse\Software\MyEclipse 6.5’, which seemed the best bet, but the Installer did ask if I was sure that this was the Eclipse root, or something)
Is not possible to install the FB3 plugin over a MyEclipse installation ?
Thanks in Advance
StefanHere is how I got FlexBuilder 3.0.1 plugin installed under MyEclipse 7.0 M1 using Pulse. It should work the same way for MyEclipse 6.5 and Europa.
First, I had to download and install a generic Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) from the eclipse.org. Then I installed FlexBuilder 3.0.1 plugin into that eclipse folder. FlexBuilder will not install into a MyEclipse folder (at least the one created when installing via Pulse) because there is no features and plugins folder in the top level folder.
The FlexBuilder install creates C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\com.adobe.flexbuilder.update.site. This update site file is not there until the FlexBuilder plugin is installed and it will not install without an eclipse root folder that it recognizes. This is why you you have to install the generic eclipse.
In Pulse you can install plugins by adding a new update site. So you convert the filepath of the update site created by FlexBuilder to a URL and add it to your MyEclipse profile via Pulse and then install it and you have a working FlexBuilder plugin.

Hi Chuck,
I followed your guidelines, and it worked just fine (running on a Vista 64bit). Though, it took a few tries to get the file-URL right. It had to be: ‘file:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\com.adobe.flexbuilder.update.site’ in my case (not the more classical version like: file:///C|\…’ or variations hereof)
..so many thanks!
Stefan
