I didn't think there were many, certainly if you started out with 
cross-platform Java in mind.

 I always accept we tried but couldnt do it (in time)  as a valid excuse.

I imagine in the final push, more people will use it in Windows, so that's the 
focus.

Using the IDE would be an exercise in making my machine run very slowly, as it 
doesn't want to install under WINE, and full-on VMWare seems overkill.
Using Eclipse isn't so bad - I don't need drag and drop visual editing for 
instance so loosing that isn't so bad.

 I do think the charting is just a nice to have, and people will release
 their own cheap/free charting components so you can save yourself even
 more money by not going for that option.

What has charting got to do with a Linux IDE ?

Actuallly there are.

They are mainly bugs I guess. There are quite a few pieces of eclipse
software that dont run on the mac. I have personally been frustrated a
number of times. SWT is not generic java, but code that runs natively
on each individual platform to provide the platform specific UI
feature set. But the generic circumstances are irrelevant actually.
Adobe has said they tried and that they faced specific issues that
prevented them from getting up and running on the mac. And the fact
that the compilers run fine (where no UI is involved) but that Flex
Builder doesnt certainly dovetails. So, again, to suggest that there
is no good reason seems to suggest that they are either incompetent
or dishonest, and I dont think that, at least in this case, that
either assumption is warranted.

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.

 with something as sophisticated as Flex Builder.

 Maybe I have a lower thought on how sophisticated it is 

For what it's worth... the effort that gone into creating FlexBuilder
has been comparable to that of creating the Player, the Framework, or
FDS. Dunno whether that makes it sophisticated or not.

Gordon, you know you are in the right way (I think), take a look to
ZEND, maybe FLEX is a PHP mirror comercially talking, also ZEND has
Zend Studio like Flex Builder, i'm not comparing FLEX with PHP of
course but the comercial way.

Sure there's a good reason. They are human beings and not for lack of
trying they couldnt get it done yet because there are significant
differences/issues between mac  windows in the eclipse environment.

I always accept we tried but couldnt do it (in time)  as a valid excuse.

Tom,
You need to give yourself an hourly rate and then ask yourself how much 
money the IDE will save you. The effort involved in not using the IDE 
could end up costing you more in the long run.

I do think the charting is just a nice to have, and people will release 
their own cheap/free charting components so you can save yourself even 
more money by not going for that option.

2 years from now when somebody releases flexClipse (tm) free IDE then 
this may be a different conversation.:)

2006-07-28 Thread Shannon Hicks





Of course, if Tom exclusively uses Linux or OS X, then the 
IDE isn't an option at all, without an emulator or some other 
hack...

Unfortunately, FlexBuilder 2 is a resource dog... I had to 
upgrade my machine to 2gig's of ram just for it to be usable. This poor laptop 
now runs (when I'm coding):

FB2
Dreamweaver (sometimes)
ColdFusion
MySQL
SQL Server 2000
IE
Firefox

Now, let's say I'm on a Mac... that means I'll be running 
one less server (SQL Server), but still the rest. How am I supposed to run 
Parallels on top of all that just to run FB2? I'd need a machine maxed out at 
4gigs of ram :)

2006-07-28 Thread hank williams



I generally run FB2, MySQL, Tomcat  Firefox and it runs fine in a 1gb pc partition. I shortly expect to move over to my mac, and I am thinking 1gb for paralells to run and I am hoping I might be able to run mysql and tomcat on the mac side and fb2 and firefox in the pc partition. But I am not clear how networking works between the two virtual environments.
