BEA Workshop 9.2 for Weblogic, Aptana Studio, and Adobe FlexBuilder

Hello all,
I have gotten a handful of inquiries about an older version of Jupiter that is compatible with Eclipse 3.1.x which is what BEA Workshop 9.2 is based off of.  I just wanted to let you know that I don't have Jupiter for Eclipse 3.1.x and because of numerous repository changes I do not have the source code dating back that far.  I didn't start working on Jupiter until after 3.2.1 came out so I do not have anything older than that on the Jupiter homepage.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

Also, I have seen someone mention that it does not work with Aptana Studio.  I installed Aptana Studio myself and installed Jupiter just to see.  I dug around and it says that the current version of Aptana Studio is based on Eclipse 3.2.2.  I know the current version of Jupiter (3.4.1.1) works with Eclipse 3.2.2.  I don't see any reason why it shouldn't show up in Aptana Studio.  It says Jupiter is installed and that it is working.  I dug through the log file and while I saw an overwhelming amount of exceptions, none of them said anything about Jupiter.  So to those who are using Aptana Studio, I'm sorry I don't have any idea why Jupiter doesn't work.

And finally, I have been asked about Jupiter and Adobe FlexBuilder.  I also downloaded Adobe FlexBuilder and installed Jupiter.  It is based on Eclipse Europa (3.3) so in theory it should work.  But it doesn't.  It lets you install Jupiter but I don't see it listed in the plugins after it restarts.  The log file has no indication of problems so I'm not sure what is going on there.  So I also don't have any idea why it does not work with Adobe FlexBuilder.

This is probably not what some of you wanted to hear and I apologize.

Just a note that I normally only test Jupiter against Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.
