Hi Alex, I just come from the first Apache Royale test (current version 0.9.2). I think that my last attempt was 0.5 (or less) !
Starting on the IDE: I know by now why there is no starting tutorial for IntelliJ: Because does guys are waiting to see where this will end up, so there is no official IntelliJ support by now. Flash Builder as said before is not an opinion for years and I will not go back there. I tryed Moonshine and seems that this IDE was designed for Apache Royale. I couldn't expect that could be easier to start a project (even for a beginner), however without intellisense support unfortunately it's a no. For last but not least, I went thru Visual Studio Code (ho, boy that text editor evolved from my last test). Everything it's manual however following this instructions https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/wiki/Visual-Studio-Code I was able to build a Hello Word test project and then started to play around. Intellisense works out of the box ! And I saw references to TLF on intellisense that you mentioned before (very good :) ). Pure Apache Royale it's noticeable more mature than before and without compiling errors on the first experience. It's not a alpha product anymore an deserves to be almost version 1.0 but this was a short test. I didn't even care about debug for now. As explain before, for me, to be even possible to move from Apache Flex to Apache Royale, I need to: 1. Move a very big ship (block by block) to your new approach emulation components (accepting that they will not optimised for speed); 2. Find a way to move a few external components (I have the source code of all them); 3. Fix a lot of issues during a few months in tests; 4. Then and only then, I can start moving pieces of components to pure Apache Royale (accepting that there is the possibility to end up with a mix of pure Apache Royale components and emulated ones but I already have that with MX and Spark anyway). During this test, I tryed but not be able to use any MX component so my guess is that is not yet on this release and perhaps only on the night builds or even on your local machine waiting for commit. This assumption is correct ? MX and Spark emulation are predicted for the next 0.9.3 ? As you can imagine, there is old code that is not following the best approach. I have the business logic separated from the UI but it's not all the cases. My first work will be starting refactoring and this, I can start right now. As much perfection my code is before the port, easier will be. Then, only after MX and Spark emulation be on a release will make sense to start but I'm excited to do and when I enter on that space, for sure that I will be a contributor (at least on documentation for others, report bugs and provide fixs). Thank you very much for you work since always on this project. For what I saw, I believe that one day I may move my code (I was not expecting that). -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/
