Just some thought about <input>.
Instead of using <input> task, You can use this addition http://antforms.sourceforge.net/. Its more than like simple input, and can be wery helpfull.

Is there anyway that this can be modified to add support for catching an event when the command is finished?

I would like to add growl support so that when the build is done, growl can notify me, but I'm not proficient enough with C# or the plugin framework for FlashDevelop yet to do that on my own.

Looks like there is an ANT task for that

Reporting a bug.

The plugin doesn't work if the ant path has spaces.

For example it fails if the path is:
C:\Program Files\Ant

If I use:
"C:\Program Files\Ant" (with quotes) flash develop throws an invalid characters exception.

also, INPUT tag is not handled in that plugin

Known issue, unfortunately I have no time to fix that.
Workaround is to put ant in folder without spaces, or just create symlink/junction somewhere, or totally remove path from settings (if ant properly configured in system variables).

I think it is not possible at the moment. Ant process captured by FD.

I changed the Ant path to a different one and it works fine.

Thanks for the answer.

You can keep the tool in spaced path like I did but you need to apply the max 8 char rules, example bellow:

c:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Tools\Ant\

would become something like (all steps have a max of 8 chars)

c:\Program~\FlashDe~\Tools\Ant\

This is a nice plugin.
However, it doesn't work with FlashDevelop 4. When installed, it crashed FD4 on start. (Tested with FD4 R1800).
I hope the author will fix it soon.

Thanks

Added FD4 compatible DLL to the download list.

i'd like to see some FlashDevelop API methods tasks
for example i want connect to FlashDevelop's debugger after compile, so plugin sends "DataEvent of 'type' EventType.Command and 'action' "AS3Context.StartDebugger"" (developer's quote)
it will be really helpfull
thx

@Canab, I've added the API getter to the Ant Panel Plugin to make it compatible with the new FD4 plugin requirements, as well as added a checkbox to pop open the Debugger before a build kicks off (not quite what Jewelz suggested, but its been working for me so far)... if you are interested I can send you the changes some how... I know the Tetragon (http://tetragon.hexagonstar.com/tutorials/setting-up-tetragon-with-flashdevelop/#more-114) people were looking for a recent FD4 compatible build...

Just throwing that out there, thanks for the great plugin! I learned a tremendous amount about making plugins from that code...

@jakecallery, sure, post link to the patch here, I'll implement it.
I found new Int32 Api { get; } member of IPlugin, but I cannot imagine what does it mean )

@canab, I think it will be used to tell flashdevelop which version of FD the plugin was designed for. FD4 is version 1. I can post a link to the code when I get back to the office on Tuesday, but I don't know how to make a patch file... any tips?

Thanks again for the great plugin!

Plugin updated to be compatible with the last changes in FD4.
