Noobie Question!

Hi I am setting up Eclim for my first. I am using Eclipse 3.7 and vim
7.3 I use Flash Builder 4.6 as a plugin to my eclipse. I was
wondering will I be able to integrate Flash Builder Functionality into
Vim? :)

I don't know what functionality Flash Builder provides, but eclim
can only expose functionality in vim for which a corresponding eclim
plugin has been created. So you won't get any sort of flash code
completion, validation, etc. (assuming Flash Builder provides those),
in vim.

As an alternative, if you just want to have some common vim key
bindings in your eclipse editor, you might want to check out vrapper.

Flash builder supports everything you mentioned. Are there any starter steps to creating a new eclim plugin? I wouldn't mind poking around and trying my hand at one

I don't yet have the steps for creating a new plugin documented. I
have a small developers guide[1] and a couple architecture diagrams[2]
but so for that's it.

I do have an ant task ($ ant plugin.create) which uses a template to
create all the boilerplate files necessary. Creating commands in eclim
is pretty straight forward (plenty of examples in the existing code
base), but what you'll find difficult is tracking down the right api
calls into Flash Builder that you'll need to expose its
functionality. If they don't provide the source code that will make
matters much more difficult.

If you decide to give it a shot, let me know when you run into issues
and I'll try my best to point you in the right direction.

I found the source code for something similar to the existing flash builder plugin. It's called fb4linux http://code.google.com/p/fb4linux/ would this be a good place to start? I could try getting it to run on my mac and if that works what would be my next steps :)

Thanks!

I browsed through that project's source code (of which there is very
little) and it looks to be just some sort of thin layer over the
windows flash builder, using wine to run it. I don't see how this
particular project would help with building eclim integration
unfortunately.
