Ok ... so I just added a first version of Corodva support.
After my last mail about the cordova-maven-plugin from the errai guys I had another look at the current version in their repo. Here I noticed that they had cleaned up quite a bit since the 3.x versions I experimented with. With the 4.x versions it seems that the configuration fits nicely to the current setup of the FlexJS examples. So I added what needed to be added and now I can have Cordova kick in to build mobile applications from the mobile FlexJS examples. As this requires users to eventually install Android SDK and IOs SDKs (Which might not be available on all platforms) I put this into a profile that has to be explicitly activated "with-cordova" ... so if you want to build the example with cordova support, you need to execute the following build: mvn clean install -P build-examples,with-cordova -s template-settings.xml Next I'll try this out on a windows VM Chris ________________________________ Von: Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> Gesendet: Samstag, 22. Oktober 2016 07:25:57 An: dev@flex.apache.org Betreff: Re: [FlexJS] Maveninze MobileStocks (was [FlexJS] Mobile Apps) FWIW, I just pushed a change to cordova-build.xml that let me do the following: - git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-asjs.git flex-asjs - cd flex-asjs - git checkout develop - mvn clean install - cd examples/flexjs/MobileStocks - mvn clean install - ant -f ../../../cordova-build.xml I didn't get any rat errors. There were some warnings on the GCC compile on the last step. Then: - ant -f ../../../cordova-build.xml run.android And it showed up on my android phone. The run.android took several minutes to do a final build before installing on the device.
