Chapter 2. Using Flex Builder 3 Flex Builder 3 is Adobes preferred development tool for building applications with the Flex Framework. Flex Builder is available for both the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, and a Linux version of the product is planned for future release. Although you can develop and deploy Flex applications to the Web or the desktop with the free Flex SDK, Flex Builder is a worthwhile investment that can increase developer productivity, reduce bugs, speed up coding, and generally make the process of developing a Flex application much more enjoyable. Flex Builder 3 Standard Edition includes everything you need to build basic Flex applications for the desktop and the Web, but it does not include the Flex Charting component library, the AdvancedDataGrid control, or certain other advanced development and testing tools. Flex Builder 3 Professional Edition includes the Flex Builder Standard Edition feature set and adds data visualization tools such as the Flex Charting components and AdvancedDataGrid control.

Copy 'JavaApplicationStub' to your Desktop. Copy the 'FB3MacInstaller.app' from the dmg onto your Desktop. Right-click (Control-click) and choose 'Show Package Contents' on 'FB3MacInstaller'. Go to the Contents/MacOS directory. Copy the 'JavaApplicationStub' from the Desktop to the FB3MacInstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/ folder. Delete the executable named 'FB3MacInstaller' and rename 'JavaApplicationStub' to 'FB3MacInstaller'. Run the FB3MacInstaller.app on your Desktop.
