I ran into this issue too because I frequently use "source" instead of "src".
It is indeed true that "src" is hard coded, along with "src/main/flex" (for Maven). I wonder if it would be better to simply produce bin in the current working directory by default, instead of having these two hard coded values. Usually, the cwd will be the parent of the main source path. The -js-output compiler option may be used to customize where the bin directory is created for JS. To force it to be the current working directory, you should be able to use: -js-output=. - Josh On Jun 1, 2017 5:04 AM, "sankar" <santanu4...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using current release branch 0.8.0 FlexJS SDK.
