I’ll have a go at Alex’s suggestions later. I didn’t want to disrupt my env while working. Chris, I’m open to moving to maven. Can you explain what the workflow, as I described it in the beginning of the thread, would look like?
From: Alex Harui<mailto:aha...@adobe.com> Sent: Thursday, July 7, 2016 6:06 PM To: dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org> Subject: Re: [FlexJS] Developer Setup Because regular Flex support Ant, I think FlexJS should as well, so we will probably have some Ant support forever, at least to test that Falcon still works from Ant I will keep current Ant scripts working. Not everyone is a fan of Maven. If some other committer wants to support some other build system, that's fine too. I don't see any reason to require a particular build tool. One concern I currently have is that right now, only one person knows how to make certain kinds of fixes to the Maven build so it is important to keep Ant going just for the "bus factor". Maven will be superior because it eventually be faster, but I don't think it is fast enough to eliminate using an IDE. So we have to make sure that Maven output works with IDEs. I'm still not sure about how the -config.xml file support will respond to changes in the IDEs and vice-versa. Maven will be superior because Chris has/will integrate code metrics. I won't bother with that for Ant. So, people will make their choices, and if you and Chris are right, more folks will end up using Maven. -Alex On 7/7/16, 3:16 AM, "carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of Carlos Rovira" <carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of carlos.rov...@codeoscopic.com> wrote: >Hi Chris, > >sorry, if I ask something obvious, maybe I'm a bit lost here, but, you >talk >about a "Ant build".
