Trick is you need "jre" folder from "jdk". If you only install jre, it won't work. So you need to *install jdk first*.
1 Close Flash Builder 2 In Flash Builder install folder, rename "jre" to something else, like "jre_1.6.0_old" 3 Install latest JDK [1] 4 Copy "jre" folder from "jdk" install folder, to the Flash Builders "jre" location. I can tell you after I did above 4 steps, my work,save,debug,compile... workflow is FIVE TIMES FASTER :) [1] Latest JDK link that works for me is: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html then choose: Windows x64 194.64 MB jdk-8u111-windows-x64.exe -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Upgrading-to-jre-1-8-for-AIR-compile-tp13912p13919.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
