ColdFusion & Flex Builder

I recorded these three demos a while ago explaining how to do different things with the Extensions we released for ColdFusion and FlexBuilder. I thought that the extensions themselves were supposed to be up on the main ColdFusion download page, but I didn't find them.

You can get a a 30 day trial of Flex Builder 2 here
And you can get the extensions from here

The extensions will work as simple Eclipse plugins, the only thing that is Flex Builder specific is the Application Generation Wizard. It will not show up unless you have Flex Builder installed. RDS, the other wizards, and the Service Browser will work just fine, though.

oh, and here's the breezo's on how it all works (I promised people at CFUnited that I would post these)

Part 1:ColdFusion Extensions for FlexBuilder – App Gen Wizard Intro (14:01)
Part 2:ColdFusion Extensions for FlexBuilder – App Gen Wizard Advanced Features (08:50)
Part 3:ColdFusion Extensions for FlexBuilder - Other Features, Wizards and Utilities (11:23)

Anybody ever figure out the
"The project could not be created. Please check the webroot folder (it may overlap with an existing project)."
problem? I get this problem even when I try to create projects on different servers.

Please list detail steps here if you can fix the following problem
"The project could not be created. Please check the webroot folder (it may overlap with an existing project)."

Thanks a lot.

Nice work Dean. Thanks for the presentations and all the good work you've been doing on the wizards. It allmost makes it too easy.

Hi Dean,
In reference to the "(it may overlap with an existing project)" issue, can you briefly describe the steps to fix the problem? It seems people have deleted projects, reinstalled software, and reinstalled their OS to find a solution.

Is there a config file in Eclipse that can be altered? HELP!
# Posted By Ray V | 10/30/07 10:16 AM
The error message is not always correct, unfortunately. The real error is that the project was not able to be created, and there are a variety of reasons (overlapping projects just happens to be one of them).

First off, what version of FlexBuilder are you using? One of the beta versions of Moxie (FB3) has issues with the shipping versions of the plugins. These issues were fixed post ship of CF8 (as they changed their code back to the original interface), but the crux of the problem is the failure to create a project.

Do you have FB standalone or the plugin version? If you are running the plugin version, does anything show up in the error log (Help->Show View->Other, then choose error log (don't remember where it is, general?))

Hi Dean,

Thanks for replying so quickly.

On my laptop, I have Eclipse 3.2.2 with Flex Builder 2.0.143459 as a plugin. I’m having the same issues on my desktop at work running Flex Builder 2 stand alone. I’d like to focus on my laptop configuration.

I’ve disabled all plugins except FB, and the CF plugin that comes with.

After running the wizard a couple of times, the following errors consistently appeared in the log. Thanks again for helping the community!!!

Wow, thanks for these videos. I was searching all over the web, trying to understand how the wizards worked. Now I have my application being to run.
If you have any input into future versions of the wizard, I'd like to recommend a slight change in the way master/detail pages are handled. On the detail page, you can right-click on the join and make modifications or remove it. I'd like there to be another choice for a one to many join, right there. Sometimes the master record is supposed to be read-only, and all I want to see on the detail page is the details in a grid, not the master record again. Right now the only way to do that is select your master table again, but turn off the display for all of its column.
The wizard is a pretty nice tool, right now. I wonder what it will look like a year from now.

Can anyone provide a solution to the "The Project could not be created. Please check the webroot..."? So far there is no solution and that error doesn't seem correct.

updating flex builder with coldfusion extensions (CF_FB_Extensions.zip) problem
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
the problem with installing CF_FB_Extensions.zip on flex builder is that in some cases you need to uncheck the "Ignore features not applicable to this environment" box before the installation process.
GOD BLESS Dave Cahill, my project was at stake!
