I thought to try the IDEA for my flex development, after seeing a lot of discussions in this group and in linkedlin about the comparison between IDEA and FB. I'm using FB for past 5 years (From FB3 to FB4.7). I really don't know where to start in IDEA. I downloaded the community version and installed it. after that I don't see any options to create a flex project. or options to add a plugin to support flex project.
My Doubts are, 1. Can I create flex project in community version..? 2. Is there a trial version available for flex development ? 3. When compared to the cost of the FB4.7 and IDEA seems equal. How do you guys(IDEA team) believe that you can attract the developers and most importantly the Management peoples or the clients who is familiar (almost addicted) with FB? 4. I don't see any dedicated page/product for "IDEA for Flex" in the IDEA product page, do i really missed that page in their products page..?
