HappyCamper- Another Flex-Based CFCUnit Frontend

A few days before CFCUnitRunner showed up, I started playing with Flex Data Services and the RemoteService parts of CFCUnit.

What I wanted was a way to "push" requests for test invocation to the browser based on changing files in certain directories. I've been using the end results for three or four days now, an I'm enjoying it, so I thought I'd release the code.

A screenshot is available at http://www.firemoss.com/images/happycamper.png - you can add a test class manually using the top-left box, the list of known tests shows up on the left, and the right side shows test results. What I like about this vs. CFCUnitRunner is that FDS can trigger multiple tests, and you can click a test to see its last results without rerunning the test.

It's not going to be a product or anything like that - basically, there's minimal documentation, I assume you know about event gateways and FDS, and it's kind of "this is all I need, so I'm not refining it or refactoring it" code, but I thought folks might find it interesting.

You can get the bits at http://happycamper.riaforge.org.
