AIR and Flash are already technically prerequisites, but folks found it so inconvenient compared to the old Adobe distributions that Om and others created the Installer to automate fetching the Flash/AIR bits.
Flash Builder, and maybe some other IDEs, expect AIR and Flash files in the SDK folder. Anyone using Maven and only using an IDE as a text editor without much code intelligence can just use Maven to get the things they need. Using Ant to install the SDK worked the last time I tried it. I'm not sure what dependencies VSCode Extensions and Moonshine expect, but if they can live without Flash/AIR then it is possible to put together a JS-only package. And anyone who wants to become an authorized Adobe distributor can sign up with Adobe to distribute the Flash/AIR SDKs and make packages like Adobe did. But Apache probably shouldn't since that is distributing stuff that isn't open source. -Alex On 8/28/17, 7:23 AM, "Olaf Krueger" <p...@olafkrueger.net> wrote: >Hmm... if we just would like to target JS, do we still need AIR and >playerglobal.swc? >If not, maybe we could provide a FlexJS "JS only" version? > >Maybe another approach could be to declare AIR as a prerequisite? > >Thanks, >Olaf > > > > >-- >View this message in context: >https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapache-fle >x-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com%2FFlex-JS-Flex-SDK-Installer-always-ge >t-stuck-at-Finish-uncompressing-tp63989p63994.html&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cd392a >411c104483719ef08d4ee206ef6%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C6 >36395270455882491&sdata=J%2F2HjEqxGEGjfgJRS9Z8HgNEkabQ6k3%2BfghmAssykVc%3D >&reserved=0 >Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
