Trying a different IDE with AIR

Chaps
           This may be off the subject of this user group if so please excuse me

I have been reading a lot  about IntelliJ IDE and thought I would give it a go, now I am not a hardened OS level chap, just a app developer

I managed to installIJ with Flex 10 and build a new app,nice, then I thought I would have a go with a small AIR app to reformat some JSON file I have

Hum…. As IntelliJ is not integrated with flex like Flash Builder you are left to you own resources to get the AIR SDK install before you start

My research turned up many blogs on the subject, so I take it Adobe do not provide a AIR SDK installer, you need to install the SDK manually ?

I reading the small print you need to install 4.6 first, this seems the best instructions, can anyone point me in a better direction ?

You can recall what version of AIR SDK you selected during installation: 
run from command line: [flex SDK]/bin/adt -version

Main configuration in IntelliJ IDEA is done at Project Structure | 
Modules | [your module] | [your build configuration subnode] | General 
and Dependencies tabs. For example at General tab you may change target 
platform, at Dependencies tab you may switch SDK. Or start with a new 
IntelliJ IDEA project, select Flash module at the 1st wizard step and 
follow the next wizard steps.

Hi
   Thanks for all your support I did use the nice new Apache SDK installer
(very simple good for me )

Can I check the source code on my MAC to ensure I have installed  AIR as
well, or should I just rerun the Apache installer

Otherwise I will dig in to IntelliJ

thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

Have you used the Apache SDK installer to install flex and air?
I'm building all my AIR apps with IntelliJ without any problem, desktop and
mobile.
The only thing I'm doing is pointing to the location of the SDK.
Also make sure you have the Flex/Flash plugin installed (see settings >
plugins), so when you start a project you can select the flash module and
set the target platform to desktop our mobile.

Maarten

Re: Trying a different IDE with AIR

Hi,

If you installed Flex SDK 4.10 using installer [1] recommended by Apache 
that means that you already have AIR SDK installed together with the 
Flex SDK (you had an option to select AIR SDK version during 
installation process). So probably you don't need to install anything 
and can configure Web-, Desktop- or Mobile-targeted build configuration 
in IntelliJ IDEA. Please ask if you need more assistance in IntelliJ 
IDEA project configuration and can't find the answer in embedded help.

You can develop both Flex and Pure ActionScript apps using such Flex+AIR 
SDK installation. Note that for Pure AS apps AIR SDK bundle that 
includes ActionScript Compiler 2.0 is enough. Installing standalone AIR 
SDK (without Flex) is as easy as downloading it from Adobe site [2] and 
unpacking.

Just run the shiny new installer from the Apache Flex site.
It does what Adobe never got around to doing :-)
