  • On Friday, met with Dong who helped me get MavenAssist up and running; also learned more about POM files, dependencies, etc.
  • Spent time Friday learning what MavenAssist is about
  • Continued with MavenAssist today and tried to create an Air project with MavenAssist, which failed.
    • Error thrown was that Flex plug-in was needed for Eclipse
    • Contact Dong about Flex plugin and Eclipse version were compatible for Mac and installed on my machine (now I am using Flash Builder Burrito with Eclipse Helios 32-bit version.
  • Ran MavenAssist again – another error.
    • Now I’m told I MUST have Maven version 3 installed. And I thought I was set to go. If time permits tonight I’ll install version 3, otherwise the fun continues tomorrow.
  • Am documenting the various environments and what works/doesn’t work (esp. for Mac users) so the environment setup craziness is kept to a minimum
