Amanda,

Did you find a work around? My error message is:
An error has occurred. See the log file
C:\documents and Settings\...\Flex Builder 2\.metadata\.log
The log entry is:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 2 2 2008-02-04 16:24:51.781
!MESSAGE Job found still running after platform shutdown. Jobs should be canceled by the plugin that scheduled them during shutdown: org.eclipse.ui.views.markers.internal.RestartableJob$2

======================
I have reinstalled Flex several times and it works for a while and then this (or some variant) happens again. What can be done?

Thanks,

Wayne

I'm having the same issue. It started after I tried to switch to a new workspace.
I am also on Vista. BUT... I am able to startup FlexBuilder if I run it in Administrator mode. Not a good solution, but a workaround that's better than nothing.

I've purchased a new drive, installed Xp and now things are working much better. Still had the Flex issue pop up now and then. I solved the last occurance with a fresh re-install. However, since then, I've come across the following:

======================
When using Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 with a workspace from a previous beta, please clean and reinitialize the workspace. Note that this operation does not remove or alter Eclipse projects residing the workspace in any way.

Windows:
Go to the install directory; drive:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3, or the root of the Eclipse install directory if using the Flex Builder Plug in
Edit FlexBuilder.ini or Eclipse.ini in a text editor
Add the following to the top of the file (not the bottom)
-clean
Launch Flex Builder or Eclipse
Remove –clean after exiting Flex Builder or Eclipse

======================
Try this and let everyone know if it works. Thanks.

Wayne

Yes my workaround has been the same thing. I just run as administrator. After doing some research it turns out that this is how Microsoft handles incompatibility issues in Vista. Microsoft actually recommends this:

1. Right-click on the executable
2. Select the "compatibility" tab
3. Check "run this program as administrator"

This is nice so at least you don't have to manually run the program as administrator every time you run the program. Tho I find it hilarious that this is microsofts workaround!

This message may be due to plug-in adding and removing from Eclipse. All the data for the "workspace" is located in a file folder called ".metadata" in the workspace root.

I have found that removing that folder and letting Eclipse rebuild it solves many problems with "workspace" issues... Using multiple "FlexBuilder" versions in the same workspace would certainly cause this. As FlexBuilder v. 3 can backwards compile - I would see no reason to have both on the programming computer.

If you have a catostrophic application failure that corrupts the workspace variables - this is the only solution that I found that allows Flex Builder (or more specifically Eclipse) to open.

Hope that helps...

I had this problem but the log entry "!MESSAGE Job found still running after platform shutdown" isn't the error, further up in the log it should say "!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources" & "!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception" and then a stack trace, the rest is just it shuting down. To fix this I found that deleting all the folders within the ".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.history" folder fixes it.
