While it's already been noted elsewhere that Eclipse 3.1.1 is now available with it's many bug fixes I realised that there's something new about the download this time, and please feel free to correct me on this one.
Checking out the Eclipse download section I noticed a torrent link was also now available: noice, unsusal, different.
As mentioned previously I've been trying out the oXygen plug-in for Eclipse to write MXML for Flex on OS X, in this post I thought I'd give some more detail on just what the plug-in is capable of doing.
The first thing is setting oXygen up so that you can author MXML. From the preferences in Eclipse choose the oXygen options and from there expand: Editor > Tag Insight. Here's where you point oXygen at the MXML schema.
There's been a syntax definition for TextPad on Windows almost from Flex's release, it's about time we found a tool to author MXML for the Mac.
While it's been coming for some time it does not appear as though the elusive "Partridge" plug-in for Eclipse is arriving any time soon, but that doesn't mean that Eclipse should be ruled out as a authoring tool altogether.
