Just AS2, and yeah I was one of the ASDT developers and I added the 'linux 
support' so if there are problems I generally know what to do.

(apart from the fact that I set it up my eclipse a long time ago so I cant 
remember if I used the normal update site or if mine was built from SVN.)

If you like, give it a try and im pretty sure I can work out any issues that 
come up.

As for the code completion, its alright, there are bugs here and there but i've 
got so used to it that I know what to avoid. I think the worst case is when you 
try and complete a method from a singleton access like this :

mySingleton.getInstance().<IT GOES BAD HERE>

Also there is a weird bug where 'open definition / declaration' stops working 
inside a file once its been edited, except it you use the import statements. 
Kind of annoying and something that I want to fix, but not enough time and also 
all my AS2 projects are gradually moving to AS3 so if I could I  would rather 
spend that time on helping with AXDT.

But overall for me the benefits outweigh the problems, automatic builds, 
hyperlinked trace statements, good enough completion, custom templates etc.. 
and 
of course all the great features that eclipse provides.

martin.
