Before Flex came to Apache, I didn't know much about Ant either. We had folks who did that sort of stuff at Adobe. But I was forced to learn it. You're a smart guy, you could learn it too if motivated enough. But, because you are a volunteer and your time is limited, I guess that gives you the right to say, "well, if it isn't as easy as I want it to be, I can't contribute". And that puts the onus on the few of us who have more time to do the not-so-fun stuff. Which isn't fun. Which is why I'm complaining. Like or not, this stuff is the bleeding edge. I really don't see much advantage to the community to polish stuff that might change soon. I had hoped we could draw in more folks who could put up with the bleeding edge, but apparently we can't. Folks can just say "I don't want to know how you work, this is how I want to work" and I have to try to figure out what the difference is and try to get the build system to conform to it. > >The Flex builds seem really complex to me and I’m not even sure what all >the dependencies are. Agreed that it is complex. I could probably stop developing new features and try to make it simpler. The README and LICENSE hopefully document the dependencies. -Alex
