Today Powerflasher released a new version of their highly respected and addictive FDT Plugin for Eclipse. What is so special for me on the Update is the fact, that there is huge movement in the developer scene going on - towards Mac. More and more developers are switching these days. If you have visited a developers conference in the last months or so, you’ll now what I mean. It’s already getting kinda hard finding any PC Notebooks on those conferences.

Anyway, the Powerflasher team still not “converted” (Carlo is one of the few with a MacBook pro, but running a wrong OS - but that’s another story), but fully aware of this trend, finally made some workflow improvements for Mac users.
Best part of that update for me that they finally made the External SWF Viewer working on Macs. That’s absolutely great news. I’ve checked it out immediately, and here it is, amazingly fast as always:

(when using it, remember to use the same runtime JRE as the workspace does under Run -> External Tools -> External Tools -> JRE Tab. I’m always running into the same issue ;))

Besides that, Powerflasher improved and fixed a lot of other stuff as well and posted a good overview in the FDT Forum.

By the way, their Logging tool SOS is soon getting an update, too. But you don’t have that information from me
