Dash/Eclipse Monkey is awesome. It lets you automate eclipse using JavaScript files that can be written quickly. It also creates menu items and shortcut keys very easily. Follow this example to automatically create getters and setters. The blog is written for actionscript but it can be modified for any language.

Good work Mario

I believe Adobe is trying to improve Flash as an ‘IDE’ by including better code hinting in the next CS5, but to me that still is not going to beat the power of FDT or for that matter FlashBuilder.

Damn! I’m on a train, coming in right now, and it sounds like I’ve got some catching up to do when I arrive. Fingers crossed that I don’t miss GS…

I’ve seen a couple of changes in Gumbo, most notably COMMAND + O instead of CONTROL + O to see a list of definitions.
