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.
