A plugin for jEdit which allows you to create and compile Flex applications directly from within jEdit.

There is currently no release of the plugin, and is in early alpha state. This plugin uses Adobe's Flex Compiler API to compile swf files from within jEdit. This plugin is somewhat functional, but in an alpha state.

FEATURES

• Compiles Flex/Flash applications within jEdit with incremental compilation.
• Integration with jEdit's ErrorList plugin, displaying compilation status, warnings, and errors in a clickable list.
• Select/deselect compilation targets and compile only checked items (bindable to keyboard shortcut).
• View progress of compilations via progress bars.
• Ability to 'clear' targets from memory after compilation.
• Growl notifications on OS X.

ERRATA

There are some caveats to its usage:

The version of Xerces used by jEdit's Ant Farm plugin is incompatible with the Flex SDK's version. Using Flexulous essentially breaks Ant Farm by loading an incompatible Xerces library. We are looking into a way to fix this problem.

jEdit's normal amount of ram is not enough for larger/multiple projects. You must increase jEdit's heap to compile. Unless we go out-of-process there is no easy way around this issue. I have set my heap to 512 but have only seen a spike up to 320 so far. Your mileage may vary.

INCREASING YOUR HEAP SIZE

BIG FAT NOTE: Not having enough RAM for your project may crash jEdit. :P

On OS X: Inside jEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist look for:

<key>

</key>

<string>

</string>

And change '192' to whatever value makes sense for you.
