yeah the more I think about it, I think that it would be better to have the option to add more things to eclipse, and have everything in one spot. As I use ColdFuson too, and I am very interested in connecting and making my app with a ColdFusion back-end, and having everything in one space is I think better. Also, next semster at school I will be taking Java,a nd I will use eceplise for that too, well most likely, so the plug in is sounding more and more like a better option.
I guess if I run into a opps during the install, I can get help on this list`-` John ----- Original Message ---- From: Clint Tredway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 3:49:21 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder the cool thing is, you can you either one, but I have stuck to using the plugin version.

But the underlying eclipse is not the same. If it were me, I would get the plugin not the standalone.

I am not too good setting things up, and so I was thinking about getting the standalone as everything is set up, but then to use ColdFusion & Flex in the same environment without switching back and forth is a nice idea. Ecplise takes some getting used to, but all in all I do like it. With the plug ins you just throw all the files in the plugin folder? I don't think that you can use software updates in eclipse for this? Since most people on this lists are not newbies at flex, and I am I thought that this would be a good question to ask. I also found this site: http://www.riapedia .com/2007/ 03/20/flex_ builder_stand_ alone_or_ eclipse_plugin Just a few days ago, and so I guess I am not the only one thinking about it. I am excited as I finally have the money for flex builder, it is just a question about which one.

The reason is I use CFEclipse and other plugins and as those mature they are needing the newer build of Eclipse. The standalone FB is an older version of Eclipse.

I do not use eclipse that much, well sometimes but I usually use dremweaver for ColdFusion. I like cfeclipse, I think that I am just too used to dreamweaver. Can I ask which version do you use? Is there a preference? I will manly using eclipse only for flex, as I do now,and space on my machine is no isse, and so If I have to install and extra eclipse is no worries for me.
