Ok ... so I got the flex-sdk to checkout and start compiling. 
In order to be able to run "ant release" I need to do the download thing to 
download the playerglobal.swc
Unfortunately after downloading the release targets delete everything again ... 
so how can I still build everything?
I need something like a "ant 
allmost-the-same-as-release-but-without-deleting-the-thirdparty-libs" ;-)

Well I want SNAPSHOTS to be published every day ... in order to do that I need 
to setup a Jenkins Job on builds.apache.org ... or someone else configures his 
private machine to do that manually using his credentials.

We need more than 3-4 people testing this. In order to get them we need to make 
it easy for them to do so. There's no use in writing READMEs with:

1. First you have to download 10 different thing
2. Then you need to Set 20 Environment Variables
3. Then Run task A ... this will fail, but just ignore
4. After that run task Y on project B ...
5. Now you can run Task A again ... this time it will succeed :-)

Like this I predict the number of people will not grow as fast as it simply has 
to. That's why I think we should concentrate a little more on making the build 
easier.

Chris

Yes, it could be better.  Feel free to make it better or at least explain
how you would make it better.

I have put together ant targets in flex-asjs where you can use that as the
starting point for building everything.  That is what I expected the
consumers of the proposed release bits to experience.  It builds
falcon/compiler and falcon/compiler.jx and skips the tests.  It doesn’t
lend itself to Jenkins builds which is what you are experiencing.  I don’t
expect many of the consumers of our release to create Jenkins builds.

Is this issue really worth holding up the release?  It doesn’t have to be
fixed by changing the release bits.  You could lock the Falcon Build to
some recent download of FlexJS, instead of the latest build, but do we
want to do that?
