Flex Builder 2 - Ant support
3 09 2006If you’re running Flex Builder 2 as a standalone application you might have noticed, as Mike Britton did, that it does not have Ant support out of the box.
To get Apache Ant support in Flex Builder 2 standalone, you can follow along with the following step by step instructions (click screenshots to see full size).
- Launch Flex Builder 2
- Go to Help > Software Updates > Find and Install
- Search for new features to install, click next
- Select “Eclipse.org update site”, click finish
- Select “Eclipse Java Development Tools”, click next
- Accept the license agreement, click next
- Click finish to start download
- Eclipse downloads Java Development Tools
- Click “Install all” to install Java Development Tools
- Restart the Eclipse workbench
That’s it! You now have Apache Ant support in your standalone Flex Builder 2 install. If you want to get started using it check out the following ASDoc build script by Dave Williamson.
