Flex IDE written in Flex?
Does Flex/Air have enough mojo for an IDE written in Flex that would be on par with Eclipse?
Ciao,

I think it is robust enough.
Have a look at radii8 (http://www.radii8.com/demo/ <http://www.radii8.com/demo/>) and you’ll see that well-written AS3 code indeed does its job.
What I was referring to is the compiler. I am not sure about the performance of AS3 compared to Java in handling byte array data, what would be needed for releasing swf.
In each way, it took Adobe 15 person years to release the alpha version of the Falcon compiler, so I guess it would be a long road to go anyway…

Yeah, I would think so. If you wanted to make an AIR based IDE I don't see
any technical limitations.

I’m not asking if it should be done; I am asking if we think that Flex/Air is robust enough be the foundation for an IDE that is competitive to Eclipse. I know it’s a hypothetical question, but it is one way to assess Flex/Air.

From my humble point of view I am not sure if the next edition of Flex’ compiler will fully work with non-Java IDE’s:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Falcon+Overview
What I am referring to in specific is this aspect:
It should be useful as a code-intelligence engine and incremental compiler for an integrated development environment, and not just as a command-line compiler.
I assume the code-intelligence engine only works with Java unless there is ways to interact with other languages as AS3.

Also can community based product starting from Zero every catchup with good quality commercially built products
There are so many other area that IMHO would add more value to the flex world than a IDE, flexJS alivePDF etc

Are you asking about the idea, or are you saying you know of one in the
works. My biggest concern is that when you move away from the major IDE
platforms (Eclipse,Intellij), you lose their eco-systems, especially their
plugin offerings.
