Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
Is anyone in Adobe still working on Flex Builder Linux? I am using it almost every day now, and I can say that I'm really happy with it, at least as far as Flex Builder is concerned.

Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
I'm using it on Ubuntu 8.10 (was on 8.4 and 7.10 before that) and I haven't actually hit any code completion problems (except that an error pretty much anywhere in your mxml might kill code completion), but find all references is hopeless (should more accurately be called find some references sometimes maybe).

Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
Yeah, I know that it has code completion. Have you used JDT? JDT has *code completion*. Flex Builder (on Windows, Mac, and Linux) pales in comparison to the refactoring, auto complete, code suggest, being able to view code documentation live via JavaDoc (SO HELPFUL!), and code completion of JDT in Eclipse. While even JDT can be improved, it's pretty much amazing. If Flex Builder could adapt itself to model after the power features of JDT, it'd be a much more valuable buy in my mind. I mean, Flex Builder is built and owned by Adobe, and yet another project, FDT, features much richer support for ActionScript 3 than Flex Builder does! FDT is rad, but they're still kind of working on MXML support. All I'm saying is that we as developers need a really hardcore development platform that will make our lives easier. FDT does that for ActionScript in so many ways. Flex Builder does it for Design View, but that's basically it.

Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
I wonder why there aren't cross-platform open source alternatives for Flex Builder. Maybe it is usable enough (just) that people aren't interested? There were a project a while back that tried to implement an IDE for Flex using Flex itself - that could be quite interesting, and when combined with AIR and merapi it could be an alternative. Thinking about it though, it feels like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, but so was a lot of the web 2.0 stuff back in the day :) I'm currently evaluating FlashDevelop and Tofino (both Windows only) for my next project - one thing's for sure, both start a hell of a lot faster than FB. Sam P.S. lol at the abbreviation expansions - made my day. 2009/2/26 Kelly dek...@gmail.com: I don't really care enough to try to fix the Alpha one although I guess I should check the logs and submit bugs. I don't think Adobe cares though. I know how you feel about Flexbuilder overall. It is pretty useful but it is missing some very useful features that even the old Macromedia IDE's had. Adobe seems to have forgotton the Macro part of Macromedia when they bought it. While I haven't personally checked the source of every package I run on Linux the nature of the system means that quite a few others probably have and any dirty deeds would be quickly reported. Google is a front company for the NSA/CIA and so I am not anymore worried about Google spying on me then I already am about Babylon spying on me. The Internet was created by DARPA. It was MindKontrol/Spyware from the start. I am sure there are NSA backdoors into all OS's so I guess its a pointless argument.

Sam Lai wrote: I wonder why there aren't cross-platform open source alternatives for Flex Builder. It is still early, too. Flex Builder 3 has only been out for a year; and it is the open source license that makes alternative IDEs much easier to build / use. These things don't crop up over night. We have seen 2 Visual Studio.NET based IDEs crop up over the past year. Maybe it is usable enough (just) that people aren't interested? You may be onto something here, too, though. Flex Builder works good enough for what I need it to do. Why would I try to create a new IDE? I suspect a lot of the Flex Builder quirks are Eclipse related; which means to do it better I'd have to either start from scratch or find an alternate pluggable architecture. -- Jeffry Houser, Technical Entrepreneur Adobe Community Expert: http://tinyurl.com/684b5h http://www.twitter.com/reboog711 | Phone: 203-379-0773 -- Easy to use Interface Components for Flex Developers http://www.flextras.com?c=104 -- http://www.theflexshow.com http://www.jeffryhouser.com -- Part of the DotComIt Brain Trust
