Hi Alex,
Well, as per [1], I thought we would have keep the same feature for Falcon.
And In IntelliJ, as per their doc, you can select which of the available Flex
compilers should be used:
1- Built-in compiler shell. An
IntelliJ IDEA compiler shell which uses the Flex SDK
compiler API.
This compiler shell can perform incremental
compilations. As a multithreaded shell, it is capable of
running a number of compilations simultaneously, in
parallel.
2- Mxmlc/compc: Compiler
available in Flex SDK
This compiler cannot compile incrementally. However, it
can run several independent compilation processes
simultaneously which significantly improves the
compilation performance.
Whichever of the compiler options you use, IntelliJ IDEA
keeps track of the modules where nothing has changed since
the previous compilation. Consequently, the SWF and SWC
files that are up-to-date are not compiled.
Selecting the 2nd option and trying to build a project, I can see all the
failed calls to the flex-compiler-oem and it uses CompilerAPI, Mxmlc and I
guess Compc for libs.
Will try to do my best with the low knowlegde I've got on the Compiler.
Thanks,
Frédéric THOMAS
