Ok,

For royale-compiler, I tried to have an IDE working for that and I still
wasn't able to do that. Of course is cause I didn't follow the Eclipse
installation in our wiki so is my fault. But I want to set up with VSCode
for Java that uses Eclipse core for this extensions, but I was stuck in
creating ANT_JAR class path variable since that's not allowed in VSCode For
Java (I asked in the slack channel of that extension). VSCode is as well
1.8.

Anyway maybe I can't contribute more to the actual discussion

thanks

Carlos
