That is, if you have a bxml file whose root element is Window (or a subclass thereof), and doesn't depend on any java code (e.g., to install and respond to event handlers), then you can right-click on the bxml file in the project view and choose Run/Debug | As Pivot Application. I find this a useful lightweight way to debug various bxml snippets in lieu of an actual visual designer, which Pivot sadly does not have. If you have a bxml component that isn''t rooted at Window, you can make yourself a simple Window-based bxml file that does a bxml:include of the other file in order to debug it. You'll also want to associate BXML files with the Eclipse XML editor, so that you can have an editor for BXML that's at least a little better than a plain text editor. Instructions are at http://apache-pivot-users.399431.n3.nabble.com/Assign-wtkx-to-xml-editor-on-eclipse-tp916608p916648.html (substitute "bxml" for "wtkx"). This was supposed to get into the FAQ, but I don't see it there. On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 10:00 PM, Alex Ryzhov wrote: > I have another annoying issue: can't make Eclipse plugin to work.
