[osflash] [ANN] Aptana IDE for AFLAX...

[hank williams]

One issue about aptana supporting haxe is that nicolas has not provided a
parser for IDE developers to be able to find errors in an eclipse like way,
meaning that the compiler only finds one error at a time, and, AFAIK there
is no standalone parser available. This, as I understand it is the stumbling
block with hxdt. They are waiting for a new version of that parser building
tool (whose name I forget). Nicolas, this might be a good area where your
intimate knowledge of the language could produce a solution that could be
leveraged by many IDE developers. Right now, I suspect the task might be too
hard to do well. Of course it could be done without any of the IDE error
detection niceties, but that is what something like Aptana is all about.
