Hi List,
I just discovered the dash project and am really happy about it!
I'm a professional adobe flex developer and find the flex builder
tool a bit lacking in some area's
So i decided to add some functionality to the mxml editor via some
scripts.
Flex builder is a eclipse plugin and has 2 main editors aboard:
- actionscript editor (ecmascript language)
- mxml editor (mixed xml/ecmascript editor)
Now i experimented with some of the existing scripts and they work in
the actionscript editor but
in the mxml editor i get null pointer exceptions.
it seems that the active editor can always be retrieved but in case
of the .mxml editor
- editor.source
- editor.selectionRange
and all other properties of the editor give null pionter exceptions.
My question:
- is it that flexbuilder mxml editor is somehow closed or doesn't
adhere to a common api?
(in that case i may file a bug report / request to adobe)
- is it that this must be a bug in the dash project as all editors in
eclipse must adhere to a common api ? (this is just wild quessing s i
don't know much about eclipse internals)
(in that case i may file a bug to the dash project)
- is it hat the dash project only supports some editors in eclipse
but not all? (the mxml editor may be of a certain subtype... again
wild guessing)
(in that case i'll just start to cry because it would be SO NICE to
have in the mxml editor)
Any help / insights would be highly appreciated!
