Plans for flexclipse 0.1.5

While waiting for a server place to give flexclipse 0.1.4 a update site, developement of 0.1.5 is going on. Let's see what we will get:
  1. SWC libraries compiled into the output
  2. New Project wizard so that you do not have to play with blank projects
  3. You can choose files and paths on the project property page from a dialog box, not necessarily typing the path...
Another small step to make flex really usable for open source developement...

Anyway, feel free to drop your feature requests to the issue tracker.

Taming flex

I am working now on a small project 'Flexclipse' which is a flex plugin for eclipse. The project already has some usable result and I shared the source code on google code.

I don't know yet how this effort will go. You can read the my primary motivation is to make flex UI development more productive for my own flex projects. I do not have any money to spend on Flex Builder or any other payware and do not want to use cracks and trials. I want a minimalist but good tool.
I think Flex and even Flex Builder could benefit from a free eclipse plugin.
