Adobe has done some confusing things with Flash/Flex, one of them being donating some part of it to Apache Foundation, creating the Apache Flex (mirror?) project. The latest Flash AS3 compiler being codenamed "Falcon", is supposed to build better and faster code. Falcon is OSS on github under the Apache Flex project. Would contributing to this repo help the main Adobe Flex build? Is there even an Adobe Flex compiler (mxmlc.exe) or is it just Apache Flex from here onwards?
On the Flex roadmap Adobe states that :
Falcon compiler contribution to Apache
Falcon 1.0 is the next generation compiler for ActionScript and is
currently in development. Upon completion of the ActionScript portion
of the compiler, Adobe will contribute Falcon 1.0 to the Apache Flex
Project, which we expect will be in Q4 2012.

The Flex SDK is fully donated to Apache and is now under very active development there.
Flash Builder is still maintained by Adobe, but I don't think they will ever release a new version. The Apache Flex SDK is fully compatible to Flash Builder.
Falcon is also under the wings of Apache, but there is no official release yet, because it has still some limitations.
So the simple answer to your question would be:
Yes, contributing to the Falcon project would help - not to Adobe, but to Apache and finally to you and the Flex development community!
For more informations take a look at the Apache Flex website:

Falcon GIT repository
Bug tracker for Apache Falcon 1.0

Yourkit vs Java Mission Control

I have a question about Yourkit and Java Mission Control....
I used Yourkit 7 years ago to profile a J2EE Application, now I am working for another project and I have to profile an application, this project does not have license for Yourkit.
During researching the internet, I found the Java Mission Control, it seems to me, it nearly has the same features of Yourkit from 7 years ago.
So my question is, does the latest version of Yourkit does something more then JMC so I can argument my project to argument to pay the licenses....
Thx for answers....

Had been stepping into Bukkit API development for a few months, most of the time I use the spigot website (https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/) to check for the APIs, last month when 1.11 released, the documentation was updated to v1.11 as well.
Due to not wanting to update the code to 1.11 at the current moment, where can I find the API documentation for Bukkit v1.10.2?
While I'm not aware of a site that contains the documentation for a previous version, the Maven repo for spigot does have source and documentation jars for each version that you should be able to attach to in your IDE.
If you want to manually set it up (or Maven refuses to work), you can manually find the jars here - first select your version, and then download the latest -javadoc.jar (which will be at the bottom of the page). You can unzip that jar (which contains HTML pages rather than source or classes) and then you'll have a copy of the javadocs from that version. In the case of 1.10.2, the jar you want is this one.
You could download the older CraftBukkit/Spigot builds and have them generate your own copy of the HTML-javadocs.
The 1.10 version can use the 1.7.2 API to create its plugin, the 1.11 version also works.
Althought the documentation is a little different, you can refer to the latest Spigot javadocs, as nothing changed. When developing plugins for 1.7.2, one can use the Spigot 1.11 docs and there won't be any problem

I would like build html5 apps for desktop in Adobe Air. Unfortunately the Aptana studio 3 doesn't support Adobe air I think, only the Aptana studio 2.
So what is the best development ide for Adobe air?
Thank you for your help!
Flashdevelop is best IDE for developing actionscript based project.
It is free, lightweighted.
Has lots of helpers bat files for build process.
Also building adobe air projects with actionscript runs faster than html/js based hybrid applications that runs on browser.
Okay, so I think the Adobe Air platform is dead, but I found the TideSDK which allows you development native desktop apps in HTML5/css3/js
I think, this is one of the best solution.

A co-worker has been going on about how cool Mylyn is for Eclipse. I want to give a task management tool a try but I use Netbeans. Is there a Mylyn like plugin for Netbeans? Preferable with integration to Redmine or Trac?
I switched over from Eclipse to Netbeans a year ago and during that time I have not found a good alternative to Mylyn. Even the latest dev builds of Cubeon do not come close. Despite Netbeans being a very good IDE, having Mylyn context management is essential to me. I have just posted a topic on the Netbeans forum discussing this issue and attempting to illustrate the importance of a Mylyn alternative. If this is important to anybody reading this then I suggest you leave a post in this thread:
http://forums.netbeans.org/viewtopic.php?t=27871
I think discussing this in the Forum is the best option at this time. Until the Netbeans community is convinced of the importance of Mylyn, any official feature request is doomed to fail.
Edit: There is now a feature request for this. If you would like to see this implemented then please vote here: http://code.google.com/p/cubeon/issues/detail?id=135
Have a look at Cube'n, which is a Trac plugin for Netbeans. I haven't used it (yet), but it has offline support, and some drag/drop integration with the task view, and support for custom trac workflows.
(Disclosure: I am the creator of NBTaskFocus)
Now there is a plugin for Task-focused development (like Mylyn in Eclipse) in NetBeans IDE. Visit the NBTaskFocus project at NBTaskFocus project page on Java.net
This project currently provides local task repository only, but with automatic task context maintenance using the open editor windows and also a Project Context panel to see the files in focused context.
I've used cubeon for couple of hours. The current latest version 1.2.01. is works fine on Netbeans 7.2. It can connect Trac servcer without any obstacle.
The UI of cubeon is little bit difficult to use. Main reason is that you should link a query to a folder with Synchronize Function to categories tasks. Also the filtering options hide under a drop down menu. It needs more mouse click than MyLyn in Eclipse. Any you can manage issues on Trac with this tool.
