I guess ralf meant "awesome", not "awful", because that's what FDT
looks like.
At the moment I'm just a starter, but I accomplish better results on
FAMES day by day.
I like this new way of working, and probably will buy FDT when it's out.
my workflow would be seriously improved, and this is key when you
have big projects and short time.
anyway...
ASDT stays great and will keep getting better.
FDT is something we haven't had a real chance to try
time will tell
congratulations to both teams

Hi Carlo,
i appreciate your efforts to create a better eclipse plugin. FDT
looks really awful and is a serious competitor of ASDT. It will
surely be of great influence on the development of ASDT.
Just to get one thing straight:

We were together with Ralf the first programmers on ASDT besides
Peter Schreiber. ... and I think that pushed ASDT for miles.

The founder of the project and author of most of the ASDT's code is
Peter Schreiber. Even if Nico contributed some code, he surely
would not insist on calling his influence like "pushing ASDT for
miles". In fact, without ASDT, FDT would have never been happen. It
would be nice, to acknowledge this fact.
Anyway, i'm looking forward to final Version of FDT.
Cheers,
Ralf

Hi OSFlashers,
time to say something, he? :) I'm Carlo owner of Powerflasher and
so one of the guys behind FDT. In the name of the full team - I
thank you for the big interest in FDT. I want to clarify the specs
and answer all questions to make it more transparent. We were
together with Ralf the first programmers on ASDT besides Peter
Schreiber. The 0.0.7 release was heavily influenced by us by
integrating templating, quicknavigation, editor context menu and
key-binding. Also the MTASC support was fully integrated by us
against the wish of some ASDT members (at that time). That was our
attempt to combine our development tools with ASDT and I think
that pushed ASDT for miles.
Unfortunately the structure and speed in the project was not
acceptable for us. We needed a more advanced product faster and
had to develop more independently than it was possible at that
time. To accelerate the progress with our possibilities as
commercial company, we had to stop developing at ASDT and came
back to our own development.
To show the dimension: ASDT has about 100 classes. FDT has over
600 and is a real consistent Eclipse Plugin.
THERE IS NO LINE OF CODE OF ASDT IN FDT! But we like ASDT and the
way that the flashcommunity comes back to start working together
like in the pioneer days. FDT was originally planed and developed
just for us. But we know that every professional flashdeveloper
need such a tool and that was the reason why we publish it. It
became what we always dreamed of - working in Flash just like JDK.
It was not planed to publish it, but in the dimension it is
acutally, we just have to share :). It will be not expensive (more
info next month). So everyone has the choice to decide between
ASDT and FDT. OpenSource will save the world - but this time it
made definitly more sense for us to develop it by own. You can see
the result in the near future. We can also meet together with Nico
Zimmerman the mainprogrammer behind FDT in NY at the FlashForward
to discuss and ofcourse we´ll try to answer all questions here.
