Eclipse / Flex Builder Undelete

2009-06-25T14:00:00Z

Regardless of whether you use Windows, Mac or Linux, if you delete a file in an Eclipse or Flex Builder project, the file does not go to your Trash.

Fear not! You can retrieve these missing files. Eclipse keeps track of what has been deleted in the workspace. Right-click on a package name and select "Restore from Local History". Deleted files for that package and all subordinate packages will be shown. You can restore them at will.

Mischief managed.

Ah, great tip! I've torn my hair a number of times after having Ctrl+Z:ed with the cursor in the navigation view...

It's the same in FDT's Eclipse plug-in btw.

Nice one. I use a lot when I'm prototyping(good to reference progress as well). It's like a mini svn genie that works on it's own and doesn't ask for food or attention :)

In my opinion, the name change is simply going to add to the already confused marketing coming out of Adobe. Which Flash is Flash? FlexFlash or FlashFlash? Sure, as developers we are all clear on the distinction, but I'm not looking forward to explaining it to managers and clients.

But whats worse than the name change is that the standalone FlashBuilder seems to be an even worse resource hog than the Eclipse based FlexBuilder or even the Dreamweaver based FlexBuilder.

I love the name change. I have been struggling with people treating Flex Builder like a totally alien experience, a big risky change, just because management tends to equate the tool with the framework. Better that they equate the tool with the other tools and the platform metal swing set.Maybe renaming the content authoring tool "Flash Designer" would help convince some stubborn folk to make the jump over to Builder. By making it sound more familiar.
