Liliana, I reinstalled everything from scratch. It works

Thanks.

I've tried all the suggestions from this thread and forum, but the Debug configuration still doesn't show up in my Eclipse IDE.

I've installed Eclipse Helios 3.6.1

With Flash Builder Plugin 4.0.1

Extracted the Adobe Air SDK 2.5 into the sdks directory in the directory sdks\AdobeAirSDK\

Installed the Tablet OS SDK for Adobe Air

I can propely create the AIRHelloWorld application and also use the manual .bat builder to compile and load my application in the VM PlayBook, where it works as designed.

But I can't find the Debug option for the PlayBook Tablet OS as mentionned in the getting started documentation.

What might I be missing ?

Windows 7 32 bit.

Many thanks for any help.

In the Tablet OS SDK installed folder, there is a sub-folder "Eclipse", inside it there is a file called "blackberry-tablet-sdk.link". Copy this file to your Eclipse 3.6.1 "dropins" folder, restart your Eclipse IDE you should see the PlayBook Tablet OS SDK in your launch config.

Thanks Andy, I was going to prepare an Eclipse installation (eclipse is really my thing). Good to know the tricks before I do it

I've tried everything with no love.  I've tried re-installing many a time.  I've tried copying "blackberry-tablet-sdk.link" into dropins.  I've tried importing a launch configuring outlined here: http://renaun.com/blog/2010/10/flash-builder-preview-launch-configurations-for-blackberry-tablet-os-....  Nothing seems to make the launch config appear.  I have the emulator working, etc.  Any other ideas?  I'm using the Flash Builder Plug-in.

You have to copy link into "dropins" folder of eclipse, not in "adobe plugins" folder,

is that what you did?

Thank you Shawn!!! After two days of trying to figure it out your solution was the only thing that worked for me.

Shawn, yours is the first solution that has gotten me any closer. I can finally run my app on the VMWare simulator. Is there a way to configure it to do debugging as well? None of the other solutions offered here have worked for me. The only thing left is to reinstall Flash Builder plug-in to move from 4 to 4.0.1, which I'd prefer to avoid. Regardless, thanks for this!
