Hi Martin,

Any update for ASDT? I've just made the switch from PC to Mac and am have
spent the best part of a day trying to get syntax checking to work in ASDT.
The first problem, and the one that is the real kicker, is that your project
path can't have any spaces in it. If your project root is something like:

/projects/some client/some project/

Eclipse's Problems panel will report:

type error class not found : project.src"

If you replace the space in "some project" with an underscore, the error
will change to

type error class not found : client.some_project.src"

A less critical but still very annoying problem is that classpaths set in
project settings won't work either. You have to explicitly include the full
classpaths in the ASDT "more parameters" section. e.g.

-cp project/class/path -cp class/path/one -cp class/path/two

These settings are global, so you have to change them every time you need to
check syntax in another project.

A resolution to either of these issues would be a huge relief to Mac-based
Flash developers everywhere. I actually dual-boot with XP and share my
project files stored on my Mac HDD with a program called MacDrive which lets
XP treat Mac drives as if they are PC ones, but Eclipse is the only program
I have discovered so far which can't seem to write to it... It's a
conspiracy I tell ya.

Cheers,

Scott
