Hi Alexander, I'm really happy that this finally happened. The good thing is that from now on I don't have to calm people with "Please be patient ... things will happen" any more. And I am sort of honourd that it was my nagging about Flexmojos 7.1 that triggered this moove ;-)
So I know what I will do today ... setup the setup for making IntelliJ support the new Flexmojos 7.1 as this is becomming more and more a pain for me. Thanks Jetbrains for making this happen ... together we'll build the next IntelliJ Awesome Edition ;-) Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Alexander Doroshko [mailto:alexander.doros...@jetbrains.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.

I'd say that open-sourcing was inspired by the members of the Apache Flex Community who fought against IntelliJ IDEA as a black box trying to make it work with Flex JS and Flexmojos 7. Here's the last comment that triggered the decision: [1]. > idea ultimate plugins not open sourced could make the flex part > obsolete Not sure how you could read my statement this way :). I only explained that open-sourcing in this case doesn't mean that Flex support will work in IntelliJ IDEA Community. Inside JetBrains Flex support remains in the main repository and, as I said, nothing changes at all.
