Flash Media Server IDE

Darren Lee of fczone.com recently released a Flash Media Server IDE for eclipse/Flex builder. The plugin enables you to "build Flash Media Server applications alongside flex or just on its own in eclipse.". Amongst other things, the plugin includes:

• Code Completion
• Output Console (no more need for flash media server admin console)
• Automatic error checking on save, much eliminating the need to dig through logfiles to find simply type errors.
  
• Auto inserts
• Import and converts AS2 Classes

And much much more. While I haven't been able to try it out yet (I'm connected by 3G mobile internet from the archipelago of Stockholm) I must say it looks really great. The only downside is that it doesn't support output console when working in os x. But it's a early beta so I hope that will change one day.

If you are an FMS developer, make sure you watch the ScreenCast and download it.
