Amethyst Beta 2 released!

without comments

Last week SapphireSteel released Amethyst Beta 2. It’s a Flex Visual Studio plugin, new release brings couple of improvements but probably the most important feature is IntelliSense support. I believe this is great news for Flex community! In one of my previous blog posts I listed number of different IDE tools of course Amethyst was there. As you can see now you can develop Flex apps with almost any major IDE like: Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Visual Studio and FlashDevelop.

I know there are very ambitious plans for Amethyst including WYSIWYG editor, I’m really looking forward to this but as for know you can go and check latest Beta here: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Adobe-Flex-IDE-Amethyst-Beta-2

Another important thing is that you can use Amethyst without full Visual Studio, it can be used with VS Shell, as described here: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Flex-IDE-For-Free-and-Ruby-too
