Flash Builder 4.7 crashes on startup

[Pete_at_Sinclair_Digital]

Installed and re-installed by IT on the company's Macbook Pro, licensed under the company's site license.  The same product installed by the same group on identical Macbook Pros works.  When running on my machine I get the message: 

An error has occurred.

See the log file

/Users/ppulliam/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/.metadata/.log.

When looking in the .log, I see:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2014-12-16 11:30:31.724

I've already tried installing version 4.2 of eclipse and using the flash builder plug-in utility to point to my version, as well as a large number of other things.

Please try the following steps:

Rename the default workspace"Adobe Flash Builder 4.7"( on Mac it's located at /Users/USER_NAME/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7) and try launching Flash Builder.Even if this doesn't work. Please un-install Flash Builder and use the cleaner tool(from this location http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html ) to clean and re-install Flash Builder.

Please let me know if this works.

That didn't work. 

However I did figure out that the problem is that the JVM 1.8 doesn't support the Java Native Interface quite right.  JVM 1.8 was installed as part of JDK 8 when this machine was set up by IT.  Uninstalling the JDK, then installing JDK 7 got things going.

For anyone who runs into this problem. I am running OSX El Captain you want to remove Java 1.8.

If from the terminal you run:

java -version

and you have something greater than 1.7 Flash builder doesn't run

I happened to have 1.7 on my machine from before so simply navigating to:

cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

and

sudo rm -rf jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/

worked for me

This page helped

JDK 7 Mac Install
