CF Builder/Flash Builder Plugin: Random Crashes

Posted by Stephen Weyrick | Tags: cf builder , flash builder

Lately at work I have been playing around a lot with ColdFusion Builder, and I decided to install the Flash Builder Plug-in to make my development a little bit easier. After installing the Flash Builder Plug-in, my Eclipse Environment kept crashing on me which started to become really frustrating. I did some research on the subject and found some pretty straight forward solutions that might be helpful for those who have just started with ColdFusion Builder and Flash Builder.

The reason for the random crashes is caused by the default settings when ColdFusion Builder is installed: 256MB of ram.

What version of Eclipse (i.e.: Galileo 3.5) did you install Flash Builder in? I can't seem to be able to install Flash Builder plugin due to at least a "dropins" directory that didn't exist before my first attempt. This dropins directory should have been under Eclipse's root.

Ah...you installed Flash Builder plugin within a Coldfusion stand-alone install?

@myIP

Ya, I installed the Flash Builder plugin with an existing eclipse installation of CF builder.

@Mike
Thanks for the links. Any resources are greatly appreciated. :)
