Intellij IDEA 7 supports Flex development
Before switching to Eclipse I was a IntelliJ user. I use to develop Java applications with that IDE. Recently I've read that the new version of IntelliJ has added the Flex supports. I'm very excited to try the software again because there were some cool features of the IDE I've ever loved !
Many advanced features are supported by the IntelliJ 7 that is already available throught the Early Access Program (EAP):
- Smart code completion for MXML and AS files, with cross-resolution of code symbols between them, even inside of mx:Script blocks and attribute values
- Automatic code formatting, highlighting and styling
- On-the-fly code validation with instant quick-fixes
- Code insections to hunt perfomance bottlenecks, bad code practicies and other problems
- Rich set refactorings
We’ve composed a comprehensive tutorial, for you to quickly start over.
To get your hands on IntelliJ IDEA Flex experience, you only need:
- IntelliJ IDEA Flex tutorial in PDF format
- Latest IntelliJ IDEA EAP Build
- And, optionally, sample project (it’s what you’ll anyways get after completing the tutorial)
