BigSource Zarkov Beta released

Alexander Funke @ Jul 09 2008 11:03 am

Today we released our renamed Eclipse Plugin “BigSource Zarkov”. It’s based on the FCSH-Wrapper and has some new Features. We changed the name because we are planning to add support for more compiler.

Roadmap:

  • mxmlc (fcsh)
  • compc (fcsh)
  • mtasc (AS2)
  • Flashplayer
  • haxe
  • the other compilers of the flex sdk (asdoc, etc.)

Current FCSH Wrapper users:

  • close the FCSH Monitor
  • deinstall the old Plugin (Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration)
  • install BigSource Zarkov from the update url.

New users:
Install BigSource Zarkov from this update url: http://update.bigsource.de/update

Now you will find the Zarkov Monitor under the Views-Category “Flash”. Because of the renaming you have to specify the paths for the compiler and the Flashplayer again. We apologize for the trouble caused.

The name is dedicated to the brilliant rocket scientist “Dr. Hans Zarkov” from the “Flash Gordon” series.

UPDATE: If you have any BigSource Zarkov related issues, just put it into our new bugtracking system under http://bugtracking.bigsource.de/trac/bigsource_zarkov. This will make it easier for us to improve the plugin.

    Looking good – is there a way I can set a list of source folders/swcs in the build.properties file – rather than adding to the build.xml?

    Hoping for the docs soon!

    [...] the great tool “FCSH-Wrapper” is from now on called “BigSource Zarkov”. the devlopers decided to rename it, because they are planning to add support of other compilers than mxmlc and the flash compiler shell (FCSH). they allready added support for the AS2 compiler mtasc. for more detailed information visit the developers blog on http://blog.bigsource.de…; [...]

    I really like Zarkov, but am having difficulty adding a source_path that points to the “fl” package on my pc since it seems to automatically add the basedir. Is there a way to turn that off? I tried making the sourcepath=”" but then it adds a forward slash “/” any idea what I can do? Thanks!

  4. Alexander Funke says:

    Yes you are right. The basedir is added automatically. I will check this issue and will update the plugin in monday. I would be happy if you would add this issue into our new bugtracking system under http://bugtracking.bigsource.de/trac/bigsource_zarkov

    Kind regards
    Alex
