Maia brings you an improved Show Usages popup (Ctrl+Alt+F7):

• Filter buttons let you show or hide usages right from the popup
• Open Find Usages Tool Window button shows all usages in a tool window like Find Usages command
• Options button lets quickly select a scope and adjust other search settings
• Paging through usages provides for quicker appearing and does not clutter the screen

Maia includes support for running FlexUnit 4 tests. All you need is to a add dependency to FlexUnit4.swc library and your FlexUnit4-style tests will be recognized and run. FlexUnit4 runner supports legacy tests (FlexUnit 0.9 and Flunit), so you don’t have to worry about existing code. Maia also includes some nifty testing support features:

• Browsing for a test class, package or method while editing a FlexUnit run configuration
• Execution of tests both in run and debug mode

Test with pleasure!
