Actually I would like to use Ant in Eclipse running with Flex2 PlugIn to build my projects! For AS2 is always used AS2Ant with FDT and MTASC and it was the best!
Unfortunately things look different for Flex Builder. Building the project with an Ant task is slower than using Flex Builder and 'Build Automatically' is necessary for compile time error checking (while MTASC did this automatically on-the-fly) but it would then also always build when using the Ant task. Does anyone know how to get this working: Having an Ant build.xml that does some project preparing tasks (i.e. increasing build number and store in an auto generated AppInfo class) and then call the Flex builder build process from Ant. I'm not Ant magican but is this possible?

I thought about doing something like this before and ended up taking a bit of a different approach. What I did was create a task that can read the flex project files and from these use mxmlc and compc to build the projects. What I figured is that if Flex Builder is creating the project files for me and can compile off of these that I would mimic the same thing! If people are interested in using this approach I will look at hosting it somewhere. This is however an NAnt task so I suspect there will be less people interested in this.

I've been putting in a lof of effort in the past week to create flex2ant. With flex2ant you can develop Flex2/AS3 apps from within Eclipse. All you need is the Flex 2 SDK, Eclipse and flex2ant and off you go. If you are interessed in this type of development then please go over to http://www.flex2ant <http://www.flex2ant.org> .org and download the latest release. regards, Luke
