Extending Flash Builder

MAX 2008: What to expect from “Extending Flex Builder”

On Wednesday, Mike Morearty and I will be giving an advanced talk about extending Flex Builder 3.  My side of the talk will be a deep-dive into the engine that drives a large portion of the Flex Builder feature set.  The talk is targeted at Java developers with an interest in Eclipse plugin development, and will cover a lot of ground.

Among the areas covered:

  • Parse trees (AST) and core interfaces that represent definitions in ActionScript
  • Using the Search index to find references and declarations
  • Navigating the indices to access top-level definitions and tags contained within a project

I’ll also be showing off a sample plugin that adds functionality to Flex Builder 3, which I’ll be distributing here with full source code.  Hope to see everyone at MAX!
