VSCode checks if an SDK contains two directories named "bin" and "frameworks", and it requires either "flex-sdk-description.xml" or "air-sdk-description.xml" in the root of the SDK.
One change that I could make is to allow "bin" to be missing if "js/bin" exists instead. The parts of Moonshine that I've worked on should have these same requirements, but there may be some other requirements elsewhere in the codebase. - Josh On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 8:31 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com.invalid> wrote: > 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.
