Flash Builder 4.7 + OSX 10.10 = :-(

[Jason_Villmer]

Problem Description:

When attempting to use a Flash Builder File Dialogue Box under OSX 10.10 Yosemite will immediately crash the application. This bug now renders Flash Builder 100% useless on OSX 10.10!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Flash Builder 4.7 on OSX 10.10 Yosemite

2. Attempt to use any File Dialogue Box, such as "Browse.." etc

Actual Result:

The application immediately crashes.

Expected Result:

You should be able to conduct the action, such as loading a Flex Project, adding an SDK etc.

Any Workarounds:

None

** It appears that the issue could possibly be related to Java**

See: OS X Yosemite (10.10) BETA Known Issues - IS&T Contributions - Hermes

**Flash Builder 4.7 requires legacy Java SE 6

You could try and install a recent version of Eclipse and install the FB plugin.
