Hi people !!!

While refactoring, improving some feats. (library management) and adding syntax feature, I 'm working on plugin to support 6.7.1 .... (Now, plugin is developed with Netbeans 6.7.1).
This release takes time cause of holidays, work... ;)
Sorry....

Hi !

There was a long time I have not sent news !
Actually, Flexbean is in refactoring, bugs fixing and next feature is "color syntax" (done in subversion repository) before "code completion" feature...

Sorry for the waiting, I was very busy ....

Stay tuned !

Hi !

Just to say that Alex Curtis has tested this 1.1.1 and it seems that it is OK on Mac OS.

Thanks Alex !

Arnaud

I made an mistake in the 1.1 version
(enabling compile & run on Mac)

So, I fixed it with 1.1.1

Sorry !!

Hi !

An updated version of Flexbean has been released (1.1.0).
This one allows to compile & run on Mac OS !!
This feature has been enabled due to Alex Curtis !

Thanks to Alex Curtis.

Be carefull ! I couldn't test it because I have not Mac !!

(2.0 in progress ...)

Stay tuned !

Hi FlexBean Fan !

After a little break (holidays), I have started 2.0 with code completion and syntaxe highlight...

Stay tuned !

Hi !

Some bugs fixed :

- Avoid Illegal Exception when getting list of projects in order to add library (properties)
- Compiling before running Application project
- Create an mxml or actionscript (extends FlexSprite) main class when creating new Flex Application project

Stay tuned !

An updated release is in progress to correct some issues like create actionscript or mxml main file to create Flex Application...

Expected soon !

Stay Tuned

Hi !

I've just released the first version of Flexbean : Flex support for - your lovely - Netbeans IDE 6.5.

With this plugin, you can create Flex application (swf) and component (swc).
You can use RSL libraries too.

Stay tuned !

1.0 Beta uses Netbeans 6.5

So, features for 1.0 are here (I guess ;) :

1-Create/Delete Flex Project (Application/Component)
2-Create/Delete Flex Platform
3-Create/Delete file (mxml, actionscript)
4-Build Project (swf, swc)
5-Run project (swf only)

It is not perfect but you can create Component, Application project, build them, link them (static or RSL) now.

Hi folks !

The long-waited 1.0 Beta is just released !

So, features for 1.0 are here (I guess ;) :

1-Create/Delete Flex Project (Application/Component)
2-Create/Delete Flex Platform
3-Create/Delete file (mxml, actionscript)
4-Build Project (swf, swc)
5-Run project (swf only)

It is not perfect but you can create Component, Application project, build them, link them (static or RSL) now.

Some features are limited, such not defining RSL path (hardcoded), limited error handling , but now you can "work" ;D... read more

Hello,

I'm almost finished this first version !! (outch !) :

Run on Netbeans 6.5
Compile Application (swf) / Component (swc)
Linking statically / dynamically (in progress) projects or project + externals swc

Stay tuned !

Some 20081013-x releases have been set due to some bugs to fix. Now it seems that 20081013-4 is good ...

Sorry :(

Stay tuned

Patch provided by Matthew Fulgo .
" This one fixes a NullPointerException
when right clicking on Flexbean Project in the projects window and a
SyncFailedException when doing the same."

+ others others patches... (build under Win, ...)

Thanks Matthew Fulgo !

Hi !

In 1.0-dev-20081011, Build is improved with building swc projects first then swf project (if dependencies exist)

Project properties are versioned

Build.xml project is created again if you delete it (oups)

Stay tuned !

Hi !

So... the current release (20080927) allows to look at project's properties and project's dependencies !!

So you can link some 'Component' projects and/or some externals swc files to any 'Application' project - swf -.

I agree it is not very beautifull/sexy !!

For the next release:
+ I will do the same feature for 'Component' project.
+ Try to do something to update yours current Flex projects without break ! Now, you have to create new project and migrate your code :(... read more

Now, new release is named as :

org-netbeans-module-flexbean-{version}-{cycle}-{build}

Currently, new releases are :
org-netbeans-module-flexbean-1.0-dev-xxx

About current release (20080923), no terrific changes ! (some changes about 'build' & 'run' target)

Project's properties is still in progress ...

Stay tuned !

Hi !

20080920 dev release enables to launch 'Build' and 'Run' from Project node

I continue to develop project's properties feature

Stay tuned !

Hi,

For the next dev release, I try to enable project's properties (File->'xx' properties).
This feature allows to have an overview of the current Flex project and to link Flex components with others ones or Flex application...
(some code is already in svn)

Next, I think that a Beta release could be done in order to stabilize plug-in....

Stay tuned !

Hi!

Now you can :

Build Flex Application -> swf
Build Flex Component -> swc

Run Flex Application only (via sdk/flashplayer)

It should be worked on Win/Unix platform

Hi !

Run feature is done.
You can run project (application swf) on Unix/linux (tested), windows (not tested)

I don't know how to install flashplayer on Mac !
(see ${flexSDK}/runtimes/player/mac)

Thanks

I'm in holidays until 18/08 ...

Good morning !

With the current dev release, you can:

+ Add/Remove Flex platforms
+ Create/Delete Flex projects (only Application runs)
+ Create/Delete 1:n mxml & action script files
+ Build Project (Application only => swf file)
+ Create deploy files (wrapper web pages). Look at build/deploy directory

Don't hesitate to try it !
Thanks for yours feedbacks ...

Next step :
+ Build Component Flex project :)
+ Fixing bug(s) :(... read more

Hi !

I was able to deliver 'build' & 'run' to have something more fun to test.
Now, you can build & run Flex project, but 'run' makes a wrap of Flex project into web pages, but it doesn't run this web page (not done).
You have to launch/view handly this (see bin/deploy/index.html).

See comments on the release note

See you soon...
