Flash Builder 4 Linux Notes

OK, so there's no such (official) thing as Flash Builder 4 for Linux (unless you know how to use "the Internet" and something called "Google"). Despite Adobe's reluctance to give us the "choice" (ahem) of OS to use, some clever people have figured out how to get most of FB4 to work on, in my case, Ubuntu.

Here are some tricks I had to use to get it really humming:

Problem: Packages Missing
(OK, this one's just me being stupid)
Use View: Package Explorer, not Navigator

Restore Control-Shift-R
(Most annoying bug in FB4!)
Windows -> Customize Perspective -> Command Groups Availability:
De-select "Flash Navigation"
Restart Eclipse
If this doesn't fix the problem, go back into Command Groups Availability:
Select "Java Coding"
[You may need to re-save the Flash perspective to enable these]

Restore Flash Context Menu
(i.e. right-click on project and see Flex options)
Windows -> Customize Perspective -> Shortcuts
Add Flash Builder

Restore Context Menu Icons
(Actually turns out to be an Ubuntu thing:)
Issue these commands in your terminal:
gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true

Let me know if you have any others...
