     <td width="70%" valign="top">To facilitate the development of SWT apps in ActionScript, the
 	first pass at a development environment was implemented. The end goal of thie work is to provide a seamless Java coding
 	experience for SWT Browser Edition (SWT/BE) that is similar to the desktop. Features include:
 	<ul>
 	<li>Debugger support</li>
 	<li>Incremental build support</li>
 	<li>Launch support</li>
 	<li>Code completion for the subset JCL</li>
 	<li>Error reporting</li>
 	</ul>

 	<p>Here is the debug view. You can set breakpoints and step in Java code that is cross-compiled to ActionScript.
 When you step through the Java code, you are actually stepping within the Flash player. You can click on stack frames and inspect variables.
 	<p><img src="images/debug.PNG" alt="Debugger"></p>


 	<p>Just like on the desktop, you can concentrate on writing your Java code and let the project builder automatically build and keep your project's ActionScript code incrementally up to date.
 	<p><img src="images/runas.PNG" alt="Run"></p>
 	</p>

 	<p>You can configure, run and debug your app using the integrated launch support. The launch support allows for both static and dynamic linking of ActionScript code in the
 	generated SWF files. SWFs are automatically deployed a local Jetty server, provided by the launch support.
 	<p><img src="images/launcher.PNG" alt="Launcher"></p>
 	</p>

 	<p>When you type, code completion is provided against the subset JCL that ships with SWT/BE. This means that
 you will not reference classes or methods that do not exist in the subset.
 	<p><img src="images/codecompletion.PNG" alt="Code completion"></p>
 	</p>

 	<p>For debugging purposes, you can monitor build progress in the ActionScript console.
