Hi Alex, Hmmm unfortunately I jumped to 4.10 from 4.5.1 so somewhere in between. I could do some tests to find out where this happened.
Well as far as I got things from the Wiki you use the same command line as with the old compiler. In Flexmojos Velo created some stub classes to wrap calls to the old compiler. If the new compiler now implemented the same Interfaces as the old one, there is a small chance I could simple replace the compiler Jar, but I doubt this will be possible. Think I'll have to checkout Falcon as soon as I have a few spare minutes and experiment on this a little. After all I have "Falcon Maven Support" on my list for quite some time (And we would automatically get IntelliJ support by this, which I also think should be a good thing) Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Gesendet: Montag, 30.

I don't see any changes to the modules folder that would explain it. It could be that the experimental and other new SWCs are being parsed for some reason. Falcon is still not ready for a 1.0 release, but alpha and beta quality should become available soon. It is going to get lots of attention as we work on the FlexJS alpha and betas. What API do you use to talk to MXMLC? If you compare the MXMLC script in the SDK bin folder with the one in the Falcon's compiler/commandline folder, I think the only difference is that the jar's main() is called with a -Dflexcompiler="$FALCON_HOME" argument for Falcon. The other MXMLC options are the same. There is a flex-tasks.jar so the Ant API is the same. But there is no Flash Builder incremental compile API for Falcon right now, and I don't know if other APIs not the MXMLC class are the same or not. The main goal was to make it command line and Ant compatible. -Alex On 12/30/13 4:11 AM, "Christofer Dutz" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: >Hi, > >After updating to the latest Flex SDKs I am experiencing a dramatic >increase in compile time when compiling my Skin modules (With the >normal swc and swfs there is no noticeable change).
