Known Issues

For specific things see open tickets by milestone or you might find a solution in closed tickets.

Flex sdk

compiler error unable to open './winFonts.ser' will raise when your eclipse path (thus the flex sdk path) has spaces in it #113

Grammar

The grammar is not correct. This is not working:

• xml literals
• e4x
• regex

I still have to evaluate how to use island grammars in lpg to fix these issues and the AST might be incorrect/unusual in some other places. I have begun to write a spec based grammar, but cannot complete it yet, because i have not discovered a solution for lpg.

Assistance

AS3 Content Assistant is only working on package and class level and not in any way intelligent. I wait and see what imp will offer. Primitive assistance depends on an indexer, that i hope is functional in the announced imp build. Complex assistance is blocked by the grammar changes.

The mxml support does not include as3 script support in any way. But imp (thus the as3 editor) works with structured text editor so i think it might be possible in add that some day. If i know how that works it might as well be possible to include wst xml support for xml literals (with schema assistance) for the as3 editor.

Misc.

Although you have no wrapper, background or whatever configuration for your launch.

There is also no debug support yet, but it is possible with the fdb.jar. There is also no trace or logging option yet. The first step would be to implement a debug console. But the flash debug player might suffice at first.

But if you work on linux or favor eclipse over any other environment and don't want to spend cash for flexBuilder this project might be a good start. Installation is easy and documented. You can start coding Action Script 3 right away.

Outdated

Launch support works out of the box and is already usable.

Eclipse 3.4 has many problems with an outdated imp version (endless editor reconciler loop #67).

I might add added editor template support.
