Flash Builder quits unexpectedly on High Sierra

[dews]

I know this is a known issue with AIR 28 - but due to the fact this is preventing us from upgrading - I'm hoping for an indication as to when this might be addressed?

Yes, Flash Builder 4.7 - on install you have the option of using the Eclipse-Plugin or Standalone (bundled with Eclipse).

Adobe, should the JARS be placed elsewhere when running Flash Builder 4.7 with an existing Eclipse?

I had reinstalled it from the CC menu, so I'm guessing it's standalone. I didn't see any Eclipse options.

It would be a headache to try to switch to using the Stand Alone.

Adobe, can you please confirm where the JARS should be placed when using the plugin FB 4.7?

Ok, third time trying to upgrade to High Sierra..

I've added the two JARS as described in the post - so the standalone Flash Builder allows me to see the export settings.

However, Flash Builder does not function properly - i'm not sure why but after importing all of my projects - I'm seeing: "An internal error has occurred" - so although I can see the Export Settings - I can't do anything with them.

Getting back to Eclipse Juno that I use with the FB Plugin..  I've tried adding the two JARS to my eclipse juno plugins folder to no avail of course - the two JARS needing replacing are a different version:

org.eclipse.swt_3.100.0.v4233d.jar

org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.100.0.v4233d.jar

Can you please share what you did when you rebuilt the two JARS?

Hi,

Please follow below steps for the fresh installation of Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.

1. Remove existing Flash Builder from your System.

2. Do a fresh Installation of Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 from creative cloud.

3. Set the Flex SDK using ditto Command at location  Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)/sdks/4.6.0

4. Set the AIR SDK at location  Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK

5. Replace the jars at the location “/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/”.

6. Restart Flash Builder.

Steps to replace the jars (Step 5) are placed at (http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2018/02/running-adobe-flash-builder-on-mac-with-java-78 .html)

Adobe AIR Team

Thank you for your response.  However, I am using Eclipse Juno with a plugin that you guys offered as an install option before Flash Builder was moved to Creative Cloud.

So, if you could share what you did to those two JARS in Step 5 - I can attempt to do the same to rebuild these older JARS from Juno:

org.eclipse.swt_3.100.0.v4233d.jar

org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.100.0.v4233d.jar

The patch files linked at http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2018/02/running-adobe-flash-builder-on-mac-with-java-78 are not available anymore.

Where can we download them from?

Thank you.

Thank you very much! That worked. I can now export the release build of my project in macOS Mojave

Simple answer here is - use Indigo and not Juno.
