Again. I believe them when they said they tried but that there were
bugs/issues that prevented it. Particularly when I have come across
other eclipse apps that I want to run on the Mac that the authors say
wont run because of eclipse swt issues. I am not an SWT expert, but I
believe people when they say this. The fact that *some* or even *most*
apps run on the Mac is not proof that there are not bugs or issues
that prevent some things from working right. So no examples of things
that do run will be evidence that there are not issues, particularly
with something as sophisticated as Flex Builder.
