Hi Stefan,
Finally i solved the issue.
For a custom panel named DateFashion in Mac OS 10.8.2 with Flashbuilde 4.6 and XMP-FileInfo-SDK-5.1 :
- Create the panel in Flashbuilder
- Right click the project in FlashBuilder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel (a message will pop up to inform you the panel has been created successfully)
- The panel is automatically placed in the following folder : /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels
- In illustrator open the File Infos in the File menu to display xmp panels and select your custom panel
If the panel is blank in the file Infos, you must create a trust file.
TO CREATE A TRUST FILE :
- Open the folder : /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust (you have to use the library folder of the Macintosh HD hard drive)
- In the FlashPlayerTrust folder, create an empty text file with Text Edit and save it with the name of the custom panel you want to validate as a trust file with the extension .cfg (the name of the trust file doesn't matter in fact, but it's easier ton remain consistent)
- For example, the name of my custom panel is DateFashion, so i have created the file DateFashion.cfg in the FlashPlayerTrust folder located in the following path : /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust
- Open the .cfg file you have created and type the path to the swf file of the custom panel you want to validate.
- In this case the path for the swf file of the custom panel DateFashion is : /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels/DateFashion/bin/DateFashion.swf (you have to use the library within each user home)
- Save the .cfg file
- Go back to illustrator file info.
- Now the content of the custom panel DateFashion appears.
So finally you need to specify the absolute path of the swf file of the custom panel, otherwise it doesn't work.
I think the explanation of Adobe about the trust file for custom panels in the guide "XMP FileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide", page 53 is not clear for many of us.
I also hope this message will help the community
Thank you so much Stefan for your help!

Daté
