IntelliJ-plugin Flex UI designer doesn't launch in linux


I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 11.1 for linux and I installed the Flex UI Designer plugin. But it doesn't launch. A briefly visible message says:

"AIR runtime 2.6 or later is required to launch Flex UI Designer. Please add the Flex SDK 4.5 or later that includes required AIR runtime to the list of available SDKs. Some additional steps may be required on Linux."

The 'additional steps' hyperlinks to a documentation that does not open, thus I need your help.

The Linux is Ubuntu Precise Pengolin. The Flex version is 4.6, and AIR is installed systemwide, but there is also a subdirectory in the locally installed Flex SDK directory:

/runtimes/air/android
/runtimes/air/win
/runtimes/air/mac

What are those 'additional steps' I have to do for linux?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Download Adobe AIR 2.6 SDK Linux from http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html and unpack it over your Flex SDK installation. But I'm not sure that UI Designer with AIR 2.6 will be able to show Flex 4.6 components. Probably with AIR 2.6 you'll be able to work only with Flex SDK 4.1 or 4.5. Please answer if it helps.
