Getting CF Flex components out of the Flex.exe
I haven't quite checked the EULA about this but at the moment I am running Eclipse 3.2 and Flex is for 3.1 so this is one way to run the CF bits of Flex for Eclipse 3.2.
To access the ColdFusion (RDS support etc) I've manually extracted the CF_FB_Extensions.zip file from the Flex exe. To do this you'll need to download Flex and have a copy of Winzip (or WinRar etc etc).

Hot Damn!!! I wasted an hour trying to figure this out the other night. Luckily I was at CFUnited and was able to just pull my stuff from the coding kitchen disk. Of course I didnt think of this until I had wasted the hour. Good to know. Thanks Andy.

Hi there.
I did indeed try this method to get it working with Eclipse Web Tools 1.5 release which I believe is equivalent to runinng Elcipse 3.2 release.
However the CF components that come with Flex (most notably the RDS plugin) do not work very well with the 3.2 release.
Whenever you attempt to open a *.cfm document it seems Eclipse is unable to load the CFML Editor to display the document.
I believe this is now a known bug by the CFEclipse developers, so hopefully will be fixed up soon.
Until then I have had to revert back to running Web Tools 1.02 release (underlying Eclipse 3.1).

Folks may find it easier to just download them from http://cfreport.org/downloads/CF_FB_Extensions.zip...
I was going to do that myself but I didnt know if it violated any EULA - plus I also didnt really want to read through all the junk/text to find out either :o)
I'm having a problem getting this to run.
I've got...
* Eclipse SDK 3.2.2.
* CFEclipse 1.3.1.4
* Subclipse 1.0.1
* RDS .5.143281
I've downloaded everything from the respective vendor sit in the last week.
I cannot connect to local RDS (turned off firewall) -- RDS plug in says it can't connect.
And I don't have an add button to add a remote host (which is what I really need...Adobe's docs say there should be an add button).

Eclipse I installed by downloading the SDK.
The Mylar stuff (apparnetly needed for the Todo list managemennt), CFEclipse and Subversion I installed using Eclipse's installation management by providing the URL.
RDS I installed with installation management as archived local.

Silly question Scott. You have got the flex component from Flex 2.01 because the RDS before that was for Eclipse 3.1 only?
