Write JAVA, publish SWF
Ted Patrick (Senior Manager Developer Communities at Adobe Systems) has posted an interesting article about the first milestone of the Eclipse E4 project.
It seems that the SWT project has added compilation support for SWF from JAVA. Write your app in JAVA and publish as SWF to Flash Player. The cool part is that you get full JAVA development in Eclipse with all debugging and tooling but you get a SWF file on publish.
We’re using Flex Builder for our Flex/AS3 stuff, but this could become a very interesting option since the JAVA development in Eclipse is a lot more sophisticated than Flex Builder at the moment.
