FDT 3.0 gentoo - can't get started creating a class :(

Hi there,

Even though gentoo is not officially supported, I'm posting here in the hope someone can provide some help anyway.

I'm using eclipse 3.3.1.1, Sun JRE 1.6.0_05-b13, FDT 3.0 pro trial latest (installed via eclipse updates 5mn ago), under gentoo linux. Trying a AS3 project via Flex 3 SDK

First problem: I'm unable to create a new class from the new class dialogue unless I specify a SuperClass. Without the SuperClass, an empty error alert box pops up with a unique "OK" button.

Second problem: FDT cannot find the EOL character sequence within eclipse when generating code. If I create a simple class "Viewer", here is the generated content I see:

Code:

package com {nullimport flash.display.Sprite;/**null * @author eclipse_testnull */nullpublic class Viewer extends Sprite {nullpublic function Viewer(){null}}null}null

All the entries "null" should be EOL sequences instead. The good news is that FDT does flag the line as invalid :p ("could not parse bla bla").

Is there an easy way to fix this? I'm quite keen in using FDT for Flex development on my gentoo box if I can get it to work. Is anyone working with such a setup?

Thanks in advance,
Tim.

[edit] If I manually reformat the code and edit from there, things seem to work, live annotation work, so does the code assist and compilation. So actually everything pretty much works so far, except for the 2 items above :/

Hi,
you can check this by going to Menu: "Window\Preferences\General\Workspace" and than in the "New text file line delimiter" Panel change from "Default" to "Other: Unix"

Excuse the bump, but thanks for the tip. This little thingie got FDT working as intended on Ubuntu.

It should also be noted that FDT 3.2 and 3.5 does not currently work with Eclipse Gallileo (3.5), but it does work with Eclipse Ganimede SR2 (3.4.2).

Does FDT work with Eclipse 3.2?
