[osflash] ASDT syntax checking OS X

[Martin Wood-Mitrovski]

Ok, i got hold of a 10.4.9 machine for testing and I managed to find a few 
issues with the Mac build which are now 'solved' (or at least bypassed)

I would tell you to join the asdt-users list but the sourceforge mailman page 
appears to be broken, and the web interface is, quiet frankly, appalling.

So, i'll summarise what i've written so you know what to expect :)

The build is here :

http://aseclipseplugin.sourceforge.net/testreleases/asdt-0.0.9-test-07-06-07.zip

and this is why it took so long :)

The major problem on the Mac is with using the ASDT logging system. This is 
because it uses an XML socket. To be able to connect to localhost asdt writes 
trust files for each project to prevent the security warning from appearing. Now 
on XP and Linux this works fine.

The problem on the Mac is that the contents of the FlashPlayerTrust directory 
are only read once when the flash player (in the embedded safari browser) is 
first opened. So creating more swfs in that eclipse session and trying to open 
them with the ASDT viewer will cause the security prompt to appear (also 
pressing the 'settings' button in the dialog does nothing)

So, the best option for viewing new swfs created after the viewer has been 
launched is to use the standalone player. Fortunately i've fixed some bugs with 
the ASDT launch system so you can now setup launch configurations to run your 
swfs in an external player and see the trace output in the logger console.

Thats basically it, the other issue was the permissions of the MTASC executable 
and the fact that File.setExecutable is a java 6 only method, not java 5 as i 
first thought so we have to manually chmod the binary when the plugin starts up.

try it out, let me know how you get on and all things being well i'll push this 
build to the update site under a 'beta' category sometime over the weekend.

thanks for your help and patience.
