Haxe Forum > Haxe IDE's and refactoring support

• David Jun 27 at 04:11

  Hey,

  I'm a new haxe user.
  Before starting my project i was wondering which setup is recommended.
  I am used to writing Java code in eclipse, and I'm a frequent user of
  all the rich refactoring tools available for that language.
  Which IDE/plugins should I look into to get the maximal refactoring support?
  Are the following tools available?
  - code completion
  - renaming variables/classes
  - renaming packages
  - moving classes (auto adjusting references)
  - auto fixing inputs
  - 'CTR clicking' a variable/class to jump to declaration
  - auto layout (fixing indentation)

  I am mostly interested in 'auto fixing inputs' and 'moving classes',
  since I know it would be very tough to go without them :-)

  FlashDevelop is a good option, but for more details - haxe ide's

  You could use elcipse but with a haxe plugin:
  http://www.eclihx.org/

  It's a plugin for eclipse to be able to do the same things it does with java, but with haxe.

  Nicolás, do you use that I was under the impression no one was using it and anyone using Ellipse was using intelij or FDT?

  No, I don't, I tried to, but I have an older version of eclipse and am too lazy to install the new one.

  I tried eclihx but it only has a small fraction of the options available for Java.
  It seems like FDP is indeed my best option, but it is still quite a big setback.
  I will just make the best of it however.

  I think Intelj is supposed to be more advanced that FDT but I maybe incorrect.
