Good list of Eclipse plugins specific to Flex

This list has many of the plugins I already use, and there are more that I haven’t looked at yet. I’ll give them a shot in due time, but it’s a good reference.

Eclipse: updating Buckminster

Recently I have had trouble doing any updates in Eclipse. Buckminster always failed with a 404 not found. My current Buckminster Update Site is:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/buckminster/updates
Later I found this bit:
Nabble - Eclipse - Buckminster Dev - Has something changed on buckminster update site?
yes, something has changed. Eclipse 3.3.2 was released and Buckminster headless-site.xml was updated [...]

Eclipse, Quicksilver, and hopping to a folder or terminal quickly

You can pull the currently selected item in Finder into Quicksilver with Command-G. Neato! But you can also pull selected text in a current app. You probably need to install and enable the Quicksilver proxy objects. But once you do, you can grab selected text and it’ll show up in Quicksilver.

<arg line=”-namespace http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/ /path/to/manifest.xml” />
Long version: I didn’t know that… thought it makes total sense in hindsight.
I am using the very nifty WindowShade from the life-saving (OK that’s a bit melodramatic… ;) FlexLib library. However, I wanted [...]

Starting Eclipse with an alternate VM

So I was trying out the Soylatte Java VM to get it to work with Eclipse so I could use Cairngen on a 10.4 Mac. I got an error after working with some Eclipse configurations so that Eclipse started with errors and didn’t allow much work. However starting from the command line (/Applications/eclipse/eclipse) got me [...]
