I also would prefer to be up on the latest gc tools. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Erik de Bruin [mailto:e...@ixsoftware.nl] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 11:12 AM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: [FlexJS] Bundling Google Closure Library I am thoroughly against knowingly locking FlexJS to older versions of the GC tools. I'm aware of the issues that currently block the implementation of the most recent GCC and GCL, but these will only become worse when we get further behind. My main concern about that is that at some point the older artefacts ("hacked") won't be available anymore, which will then leave FlexJS in a very bad state... If this is all you can manage at this time, than you should go ahead. I'll try to find time to look at what the issues are (I think it was related to a requirement for Java 7 in the newer GCC?) and submit a fix. However, I'm spending what time I can on trying to get a VanillaSDK version up to date and running - as that is what passes for "fun" for me these days ;-) - so I'm not sure when I can come around to this.
