Great add-on! I agree, this would’ve put Flex over-the-top for developers if it was part of the release. Maybe Flex 2.1? hehe.

Hi e.j. -

I e-mailed you about this issue. Hopefully we can track it down and get a fix for it. Thanks!

So I”m pretty sure the plugin works in the release version (I’ve been using it) but I’ll double-check. I’ll be releasing an updated version of the plugin now that I’m back from a much-needed vacation

David, thank you again for good tool!

I’ve used it succesfully through Flex 2 Beta 3 but now…

I’ve failed to install/use Alpha Plugin under Flex Builder 2 Release (non-plugin, full version).

First, the installation process goes as is should, everything looks ok, and at the end of install process Flex asks me to restart it.

After restart Alpha plugin seems to be semi-working. For example, it highlights errors but fails with quick fix. Then, errors highlighting even disappear.

I decide to disable the plugin and here’s one more surprise: when i go to Help > Software Updates > MAnage Configuration I don’t see Alpha Plugin there even when “Show disabled features” option is on.

Maybe its just my stupidity. I want to ask everyone who uses Aplha Plugin — did you experienced such troubles and if so, how to avoid them?

In some case the “software update” install can failed if your “Environnement” caracteristics don’t match exactly with what is set in the plugin feature.xml file :
os=”win32″
nl=”en”

In this case you can already use the “software updade mode” by uncheck the “Ignore features not applicable to this environment” option in the software update wizard.

For exemple, in my case, my OS is in french, and without unchecking this option I’ve got the error : “No features found on the selected site” …

Else thanks a lot for this great feature David !

[...] Addendum: After spending time reading the Adobe blogs and seeing what some of the Adobe developers are doing I am more confident in the outcome of Flex. [...]
