Couldn’t get http://pbdt.joa-ebert.com/update to work in Eclipse. “Unable to load the repository.”

Did you add the nature to the project? Otherwise you could open up the Error Log view and see if anything pops up there once you save.

I’m a little confused about the workflow….When does the kernelget compiled. In the directions it’s mentioned that every time I save the file, the kernel gets compiled. I never see any .pbj tho… Is there another way to compile the kernel.

Is there a step I missed?
Here is a screenshot if it helps:

very nice! thanks for great sharing.

I downloaded it and it works fine on my FB 3.0.2 (Mac, Standalone).

And I found a bug about code completion.
When I try to input “sampleNearest()”, PBDT tells me that it is “sampleNeareset()”.

Thanks Joa!!!

And it works great, even on Linux :), for those interested to know how to make it works in linux, I wrote a small note in english here : http://book.abe.free.fr/blog/?post/2009/04/25/Using-PixelBender-on-Linux

You have to do “Open With” and choose the PBKEditor in that case. This happens only for old files you already opened with the default text editor in Eclipse.

Yes! Just tested it in FB3.0.2 (WinXP), and it works fine for me. This is going to save me from a lot of frustration; it integrates perfectly into the environment :D Just one small issue: when opening pbk files in old projects that weren’t created using pbdt there’s no code colouring or hinting (they do compile however).
Great job, thanks!

I did some googleing on that issue. But there is no real answer. Most of the time people having this problem they just grab the latest Eclipse version and everything is fine.

Sorry, I can not reproduce it here and have never seen that error before.

Yep, latest Aptana, Mylyn, CFEclipse, and Subclipse.

Okay, well then it is a problem with the standalone installation of FB. Do you have any other 3rd party plugin installed (forinstance Subclibse/Subversive)?

Latest updated FB3 (3.0.2 or whatever their versioning is) has Eclipse 3.3.3.

Hey Erki,

the plugin has been tested with Eclipse 3.4 on Mac and Eclipse 3.3 on Windows. I do not know which version of Eclipse the Flex Builder standalone uses but you could look it up and tell me. Maybe I can make the plugin work for Eclipse 3.2 too.
