But I wonder if the version element is used elsewhere?

Just for info, it is used by the mavenizer too but there is no issues, tested it time ago with 4.10.x One particularity is with x == 0, it generates 4.10.0-SNAPSHOT instead of the classic 4.10.x which is useful when you want to mavenize the develop branch and it is well taken in account by IntelliJ

Ugh.  Thanks for checking it out.

So the SDK name still showed up as 4.10?  I suppose we could just leave
the version element at 4.9.9 with a comment saying we had to do that for
FB.  But I wonder if the version element is used elsewhere?

With following steps I could create new flash builder projects again
with no errors.

1) Changed <version> element in flex-sdk-description.xml from 4.10.0 to
4.9.0
2) Configure SDK in Flash Builder
3) Create new Project with newly configured SDK

My sdk was installed with Apache Flex Installer. So I would say the
problem ist the version number.

In one of the past releases, we messed up the core.swc build script and

under our control before releasing.  So somebody should try a build
with a
4.9.9 version number just to be sure.  I'll see if I can get another
computer going on it.

Clearly we all have different opinions on quality, but a problem in the
first thing a newbie tries with FB New Project wouldn't make us look
very
good and attract more people, especially if we can find a way around it,
and shipping with known regressions doesn't help either.  Very recently,
OpenOffice also voted to release and was in the process of copying their
bits to dist when they stopped because an issue was found.  Just because
you have the votes doesn't mean you have to deploy those bits.

Hi,

And I really have to say this is not exactly a show stopper or critical
issue. This need to put into perspective as there a very simple work
around eg just fix/edit the code yourself. It's an inconvenience at
most,
nothing to do with the SDK itself, and not everyone uses Flash Builder.
I'm not sure we can ever fix the issue, without revering the version
number to 4.9.2 or something silly. We should be asking Adobe to fix it
not using it as yet another excuse to not make a release.

The vote for the release candidates has passed and was successful. As
the
release manager I'm willing to give a couple of days grace to see if any
solutions for any "outstanding" issues can be found and consider
creating
a new release candidate to put up for another vote, but beyond they can
go into the next point release, anything more than that is really going
against Apache policy.

Thanks,
Justin
