It is absolutely great, that JetBrains has open sourced a great deal of their plugins!
Today, I installed the latest and greatest Selena EAP (early access) version of IntelliJ IDEA, to get some of the latest flex plugin features. Sadly, my ruby plugin then got turned off, as it was not built for the latest IDEA [...]

Today, I shall tell a story about bad bug handling from Adobe on the flex framework. A story about Adobe pushing their payware LCDS product, as a solution to a bug in flex or flash!
A while ago, I posted on flash still being closed and proprietary, to make us think about that, before blindly adopting [...]
