UPDATE: This looks like a good fit Grep Console

I’m asking this in relation to Flex Builder, but it might apply to Eclipse in general.

Trace statements in Flex Builder get sent to an Eclipse Output Console. What is the easiest way to filter this text on the Eclipse side?

Specifically, I’d like to be able to filter (ignore) lines by patterns.

I came across Logback, but it seems like overkill for this scenario. Is there no way to script something like this Eclipse itself? Read more…

Consider a black box with 50% opacity. A sprite with a black rectangular fill in it.

Which would render quicker?

1. A sprite where the black fill has 50% alpha (0.5)
2. A sprite with 50% alpha containing a solid fill

Anyone done any tests?
