Requirements (Free Tools)
You need at least the following four free development tools:
- Java 5+ (6+ working): Download Sun JDK and install it.
- Eclipse 3.2+: Download Eclipse 3.2+ and unzip it somewhere (NOTE: It is always a good idea to avoid paths with whitespace). You may, of course, use another IDE, but you will not be able to use Eclipse specific plugins and sample projects.
- Flex 3+ SDK: Download Flex 3+ SDK and unzip it somewhere (NOTE: idem), say /flex_sdk_3.
You may also read and follow the recommendations in this excellent article in order to customize your development environment.
