Hi, I just built and installed the current ApacheFlex SDK in my Maven Local Repository on Windows 7, here are the instructions to reproduce. (Note : I was able to successfully run it against a modular Java/Flex application using FlexBuilder 4.6 and Maven 3.0.3.The convention for the version has not been established yet, some have been proposed, I gonna follow one of them '2012.0.1')
It's based on the Erik instructions from the previous post with some adaptations and the Conrad blog post at http://www.dz015.com/?p=346 for Maven I assume these softwares are installed and well configured:- The Subversion software of your choice (I use TortoiseSVN)- Java: 1.6.0_25-b06, but I guess you can use the one you like >= 1.5- Ant: I used the 1.8.2 (http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi).- 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/)- vanilla Flash Builder 4.6 And then :- Open Source Flex SDK. I downloaded it from http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.6 and unpackaged it to 'ApacheFlexSDK/2012.0.1' in the temporary folder of your choise.- copy "flexTasks.JAR" from 'ApacheFlexSDK/2012.0.1/ant/lib' to the 'libs' folder of your 'apache-ant-1.8.2' instalation folder.- copy the content of this file 'https://github.com/piercer/flex_sdk_maven_install/blob/master/flex4.5.1.21328_molehill.compiler.descriptors.xml' to 'ApacheFlexSDK/apache_flex_2012.0.1.compiler.descriptors.xml'- copy the content of this file 'https://github.com/piercer/flex_sdk_maven_install/blob/master/flex4.5.1.21328_molehill.framework.descriptors.xml' to 'ApacheFlexSDK/apache_flex_2012.0.1.framework.descriptors.xml' On to the configuration: - environment variables (run 'C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe')- click on 'Environment variables...' and under 'System variables' # Flex SDK build variablesadd: FLEX_SDK=pathToYour\ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1 # bin directory of Flex SDKIn the 'path' variable add '%FLEX_SDK%/bin' - empty the 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1\frameworks' folder except the 'frameworks\locale' and the 'frameworks\libs\automation' Get the source:- grab a working copy of the 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/whiteboard/frameworks/'repo and put it in your local (just emptied) 'frameworks' folder, accept the replacememnt of files if asked. Now for the fun part:- open a DOS Console as Administrator, cd to the 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1' folder and enter the followingcommand: "ant -f build_framework.xml". This will download some thirdparty code (this takes a couple of minutes) and then builds the SDK.When done, you see the lovely words "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". - rename 'ApacheFlexSDK/2012.0.1/frameworks/libs/player/11.0' to'ApacheFlexSDK/2012.0.1/frameworks/libs/player/11.1' (yes, from 11.0 to 11.1, in short). - remove the 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1\frameworks\svn' folder- copy 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\2012.0.1'- Go into the Flash Builder preferences and add the new SDK, you can even create a project to play with and check it works (thank you to report in case it doesn't). The Maven part : - Create an empty zip file in 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1' and rename it 'empty.swc'- Zip with 7-zip the content of 'ApacheFlexSDK\2012.0.1\' to 'ApacheFlexSDK\apache_flex_sdk_2012.0.1.zip' - in 'ApacheFlexSDK/apache_flex_2012.0.1.framework.descriptors.xml' :change '<version>4.5.1.21328-MOLEHILL-11.0</version>' to '<version>2012.0.1</version>'change '<classifier>11</classifier>' to '<classifier>11.1</classifier>' change '<location>frameworks/libs/player/11.0/playerglobal.swc</location>' to '<location>frameworks/libs/player/11.1/playerglobal.swc</location>' - in 'ApacheFlexSDK/apache_flex_2012.0.1.compiler.descriptors.xml' :change '<version>4.5.1.21328-MOLEHILL-11.0</version>' to '<version>2012.0.1</version>' - in the previously opened open DOS Console, in 'ApacheFlexSDK', run :mvn org.sonatype.plugins:bundle-publisher-maven-plugin:1.1:install-bundle -Dbundle=apache_flex_sdk_2012.0.1.zip -Ddescriptor=apache_flex_2012.0.1.framework.descriptors.xmlmvn org.sonatype.plugins:bundle-publisher-maven-plugin:1.1:install-bundle -Dbundle=apache_flex_sdk_2012.0.1.zip -Ddescriptor=apache_flex_2012.0.1.compiler.descriptors.xml You can now enjoy playing with Maven ApacheFlex Maven projects.(Note: because you can't use RSL caching in this version, use 'rsl' as scope instead in your POMs) Frédéric Thomas
