Author and FDT fan Sidney de Koning has just completed a new book titled ‘Automating ActionScript Projects With Eclipse and Ant‘. It’s a short and sweet book that gives a nice introduction for anyone interested in integrating Eclipse & Ant into their Flash workflow. In this book, you’ll find various powerful Ant scripts as well [...]
You asked for it and we built it. FDT 5 is now available as an Eclipse plugin. Many developers prefer to have FDT installed into an existing Eclipse setup.

As announced last week, FDT 5 will not only gain features but improve in many ways. Last Monday we told you about the new Freemium model. Today we will show you the new prices.
Recently, Betas for Air 3.0 and Flash Player 11 have been released and they have some great features. To get started using them, you’ll need to do a little bit of setup on your own. This is because they are currently being distributed separately from each other and from the Flex SDK.
I’ve created a quick video that will walk you through setting everything up. Enjoy!

Which version of FDT & Flex SDK are you using in your project?
yes i have the same issue as fintan… getting null pointer exception. i tried changing namespace to http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1
Hey Fintan,
The FDT5 mobile templates won’t work with 4.6 out of the box. You’re right about the XML namespace. What you can do is edit the template your self! The templates are kept in your FDT folder in your home directory.
On OSX this may be hidden by default. Here’s some info to fix that:

should the Flex 4.6 sdk work out of the box with the FDT5 mobile templates? I’ve tried it but the generated *-app.xml file points to the 2.6 namespace rather than 3.1 and I can get it to compile yet(java.lang.NullPointerException).
any help is appreciated
Fintan
