Tweaking syntax coloring in Flex Builder 2

In the next few weeks, I’m going to start talking more and more about extending Flex Builder 2, hopefully dropping some code samples along the way. In the mean time, Mike Morearty (a fellow Flex Builder 2 engineer) has written a great post about changing the defaults for syntax coloring for the MXML, CSS and ActionScript editors.

One of the best things about building a product on Eclipse is the plugin-centric nature of the platform. And with the upcoming public release, I’ll share some of the great extension points that we’ve opened up for the adventurous user that wants to extend Flex Builder 2. These extension points, coupled with the official Java API for accessing our language model, should yield great things in the same vein as the Alpha plugin I released a few weeks ago. Anyway, stay tuned!
