I created a fork of best_in_place and plugged in a jQuery component that I create that provides this very option.

Here’s an example

Here’s the source code

You can use this standalone – or you can try out the forked best_in_place

So I put together a little webservice client that does the csv import for me.

The project is an executable jar so you run it like so:

java -jar simple-jira-webservice-client-0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar ${username} ${password} ${path_to_csv_file}

The source code is on Github.

Its written in coffeescript. It may be useful to someone else.

A few years back I wrote an Air app to do this. It had a UI and guided you through the process. I pulled it out there recently and while it still works, I thought it would be easier to have a ruby gem to do the same work and with less code.

The mechanism is the same. You specify the path to the source folder you wish to inspect and a set of link report xml files. It’ll then look through all the declarations in the link reports and see if they are within the source folder. This will give it a list of all the classes that are in use. Using this its easy to derive the list of unused classes. The gem will print out a list of unused classes, the air app will list them in the ui.

The gem usage is like so:

   gem install flex-source-inspector
   flex-source-inspector inspect path_to_src path_to_link_report

The lib combines the ability to take images, with the [Mixin] metadata tag (as used by Xavi).

The code is on Github.

It looks like this:

Enjoy.

java -jar lces-asset-deployer.jar config.yml

I now run this tool from within eclipse when I compile my flex application and it automagically goes up to the server. The code for the script is on Github. For licensing reasons I can’t supply the libs but you’ll have everything you need if you have Livecycle installed, except for snake yaml which is here.

bug

The following code throws an RTE in Flex SDK 4.5.1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

            protected function onCreationComplete(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                myDataProvider = new ArrayCollection([ 'Alabama', 'Arkansas', 'Antrim' ]);

        private var highlightPending:Boolean;

        override public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void
        {
            //prevent the default selected index setter
            //as it throws an RTE if there are not children set.
            if (numChildren == 0)
            {
                pendingSelectedIndex = value;
                return;
            }
            super.selectedIndex = value;
        }

        override public function set dataProvider(value:Object):void
        {
            super.dataProvider = value;
            if (value != null && pendingSelectedIndex != -1)
            {
                highlightPending = true;
            }
        }

        override protected function commitProperties():void
        {
            super.commitProperties();

            if (highlightPending)
            {
                highlightPending = false;
                hiliteSelectedNavItem(pendingSelectedIndex);
                super.selectedIndex = pendingSelectedIndex;
            }
        }
    }
}

Use this class instead of the TabBar and your good to go.
