I am using Flash builder 4 to both build and manage (via cvs) projects. In recent days my designer has been having trouble committing to CVS, leaving a project blocked.
I have troubleshooted troubleshot tested CVS and it is working fine (others can commit and retrieve without a hitch).
in an effort to start from scratch – I have removed the flash builder application (dragging it to the trash, its a Mac) as well as using the uninstaller (which does not work as well as I would have thought), but on reinstall – all preferences are still there – CVS connection and all.
is there a file or set of files I can delete to reset all of the prefs for Flash Builder (built on eclipse if that helps)?
Go to your workspace directory and remove the .metadata directory. This is where Eclipse stores all preferences and project-settings.
You can find the workspace directory by navigating through the preferences:
Preferences->General->Startup and Shutdown->Workspaces
Note: this will remove all configuraton for FB, not just those settings pertaining to a specific project.
