    <p><strong>Problem</strong></p> <p>A few of us running either Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Lion and installing the FlashBuilder 4.6 eclipse plug-in are experiencing an issue where the plug-in simply does not show up in Eclipse. The installation adds a file under the /dropins directory called <strong>fb-4_6-plugin-encoded.link</strong> that is supposed to tell Eclipse the location of the Adobe FlashBuilder installation.</p> <p>The scenarios we have encountered are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Plug-in is registered, but does not show up. Running Eclipse with <code>-consoleLog</code> shows no errors.</li> <li>Eclipse running with the -consoleLog switch says that the <strong>fb-4_6-plugin-encoded.link</strong> file is not accessible. Doing a <code>chmod 777</code> on the file fixes the issue and the plug-in is registered.</li> </ul> <p>Here are the notes from the <strong>README</strong> that comes with FlashBuilder:</p> <hr> <blockquote> <p>Flash Builder 4.6 supports installation as a plugin to an existing Eclipse instance.</p> <p>To do so:</p> <ol> <li>Complete the installation process as described above.</li> <li>Navigate to the installed Flash Builder installation location and open the utilities folder.</li> <li>Run the executable Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Plug-in Utility.app.</li> <li>Select the language and click on OK.</li> <li>Select the Flash Builder installation location if prompted.</li> <li>Select the eclipse folder into which you want Flash Builder 4.6 to be plugged into and click Next. (Note: Your copy of Eclipse must be version 3.6/3.6.1/3.6.2/3.7, 32-bit, Cocoa, containing a folder named “dropins”).</li> <li>Review the pre-Installation summary and click on Install.</li> <li>Following installation it is recommended that you edit the eclipse.ini file for your Eclipse instance, so that it includes the following settings: -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=64m</li> </ol> </blockquote> <hr> <p><strong>Questions</strong></p> <p>Is there any Eclipse magic that can be performed to further investigate the issue? Is there any way to manually register the FlashBuilder plug-in (or generally a dropins style plug-in)?</p>
