FDT - the world's best system to develop in Flex / ActionScript 3. Only after working with her a few can understand
how it is superior Adobe Flex Builder 3 and why the developers want for it, such denzhischi. Powerflasher FDT Enterprise (Flash Development Tool) is working closely with the Eclipse environment, which becomes a powerful Flash, ActionScript and MXML code editor with advanced features such as Live Error Highlighting.

In Powerflasher FDT Enterprise (Flash Development Tool) is everything that happens in any serious IDE: Project Manager, the wizard to create classes and interfaces, refactoring, search for projects, bookmarks, integration with version control systems, and more. Part of this functionality is provided by Eclipse. But Eclipse does not know anything about ActionScript, so all that is associated with the specific language provided Powerflasher FDT Enterprise (Flash Development Tool). Most of this functionality is also in FlexBuilder (which is also nothing like a plugin for Eclipse), but not all. FDT has several important functions that are lacking in FlexBuilder.

1) parsing code on the fly. FDT has its own interpreter, which analyzes the code on the fly and immediately highlights the error: undefined variables and methods, incorrect data types in function parameters, the wrong type of return value, unknown class names, etc. All this is set very flexible and helps in two aspects: to maintain a good style of programming and boldly go to the refactoring.

2) Quick Fix - the perfect complement to the parser code. FDT is not only highlights the error, but also offers options for correcting errors: import a class, create a class, add a property or method in the class, etc.

3) Code templates - in Eclipse, they are powerful, as nowhere else. The templates you can use variables, own or integrated with special values (cursor position, name of the current class, the name of the current method, etc.).
