Manage your AS3 Libs in Eclipse / Flash Builder

One of the things I hate doing is managing all the different libraries I may use in a project. Luckily Dennis @ rozengain.com has made a plugin for Eclipse / Flash builder that works like a charm called the ActionScript Framework Downloader. All you need to make it work is:

• Eclipse 3.2 or greater

• SVN Command line tool

Once you have SVN all setup you can download the JAR file and place it in your Eclipse plugin folder and restart Eclipse .

To use it up first go to Preferences > ActionScript Framework Downloader and add the libraries you want to use. Then close the preferences window and navigate to the folder you want to download the libraries to. Right click on the folder and click download ActionScript framework here. Select the libs you want to download and then click finish.

That’s it. A very easy and slick plugin to manage all your library files. I’ve used it with the latest Beta of Flash Builder and it works great!
