It would be nice if somebody could check if the submitted patch is valid. It's a longtime issue affecting many users, and it's a shame that the contributor of the patch has been ignored.
>From what I read here <http://silight.hatenablog.jp/entry/2014/09/21/231123> , this block of code <https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/blob/develop/modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/swc/SwcGroup.java#L307> is causing the problem as there are times where both swcScript1CompilationUnit.hasTypeInfo and swcScript2CompilationUnit.hasTypeInfo are true causing both compare(swcScript1, swcScript2) and compare(swcScript2, swcScript1) to be < 0, which is not valid in a Sort method in Java 1.7.
