I’m having some Flex Builder problems and after talking to Sim, I realized I might be the only person on the planet setting up Flex Builder this way, so I wanted to blog and see if you guys had any tips. Here’s my setup:

I like to put my Eclipse plugins all in different folders. This allows me to mix and match my different workspaces depending on if I’m doing ColdFusion development, JavaScript development, Flex development or OpenLaszlo development, ect. So when I set up the Flex Plugin, I install the standalone version and then to get the plugin version, I open up my clean download of Eclipse, create a Local Update site and point it at the Flex Builder 2 directory. Sim thinks this is where I’m going bad because he says no one does it like this.

Until yesterday, I’ve been using a project created in the standalone version that I wanted to switch over to the plugin version. So I went through the steps above and then imported the project. But now, I get this error message:

unable to open ‘C:\Eclipse\extensions\flex_builder\eclipse\plugins\
com.adobe.flexbuilder.project_2.0.155577\resources\frameworks/flex
config.xml’

For some reason it is trying to find the flex-config.xml file deep inside my plugin directory. So then I discovered linked resources, and I changed my $FRAMEWORKS resource directory to the SDK directory and thought that would fix it. But no, my flex-config.xml file is still trying to find itself in my plugins directory. Anyone have any ideas what’s up?
