On the NME download page (http://www.haxenme.org/download/), it is not stated anywhere what components will/can be installed with the NME installer.

Might be a good idea for people who are new to Haxe/NME to list all the optional components that you can install with the NME installer.

It would be good to at least say that you don't need to install Haxe yourself, because it can install the latest version for you.

So far it looks like the Installer (for Windows at least) installs Haxe, Neko, NME, HXCPP, Jeash, Actuate, and SWF. That is a whole lot of goodies straight out of the box. We should be advertising this. Could even have a one liner for what each does.

Awesome, looks like someone made that change, thanks.

I also noticed that on the download page under "Next steps", there is a link to a FlashDevelop project template. It looks like FlashDevelop comes now comes with a NME project template, So that link is probably not needed anymore.

Re: Download page, not showing what will be installed

I have not checked the version of FlashDevelop that was just released, but at last I checked, the template we share on the Download page was more current than the one used in FlashDevelop.

There were some spec changes in the NMML file format, so while NME is compatible with the old names and attributes, it isn't what we're recommending for the future. It should feel cleaner and more concise. The other differences are up to preference. The template on the site here names your NMML with the name of your project, instead of a generic "application.nmml", and uses Export, Source and Assets rather than bin, src and assets.
