Checkstyle for ActionScript (Flex)

Question

HI, I'm currently working on a project that uses Flex and Java. In Java we easily enforced a coding standard with Checkstyle, and we want to do this for Flex.

Does anybody know of a tool similar to Checkstyle that would allow coding standard checks? (I've googled for this but found only one project written in python and it seams abandoned)

Thanks

Answer 1

The long and the short is that there is... kind of, but only for Actionscript, and you have to test it yourself... There is a prototype of an Actionscript 3 version, but it is not even in Beta yet (and I admit that I haven't had the time to test it). I haven't found anything similar for XML, let alone MXML. This is in at least one list of feature requests for Flex 4, however.

Hi, I'm working too on a project uses Flex and Java. Like you, in Java, we easily use plugins like checkstyle, findBug, javaNcss or PMD. My personal project is to do this for Flex. I have test the prototype 'checkStyleas3' but it just verify the code source en returns you 0 or -1 as result. So you will have (me too in fact), to implement this prototype if you want to do more than that.
