AFAYK, does it support debugging as well?
I’d love to see support for Flex in NetBeans as well…
Hi Funkyboy,
Yes it does.

Hi Guys !
This is the thing I’ve been waiting for so long.
This is great news…
I’ll try it and see how it deals with large multi librairies and java server-side code projects.
I think this pdf is a little old it looks like it’s referring to getting flex working in Intellij7, in intellij8 the compiler is built in for flex applications. However you can still use the ant compiler if you’d like or if you need to create and launch AIR applications. Their built in compiler doesn’t understand AIR projects yet, just Flex and Library projects.
