New namespaces and Flash Builder issues

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

As suggested in another thread I thought I'd try replacing the existing Adode 
namespaces with Apache namespaces to see what would happen.

It's easy enough to add them to the flex-config.xml like so, pointing to the 
existing manifest files:

         <namespace>
            <uri>http://flex.apache.org/mxml/2009/ns</uri>
            <manifest>mxml-2009-manifest.xml</manifest>
         </namespace>
         <namespace>
            <uri>http://flex.apache.org/spark/ns</uri>
            <manifest>spark-manifest.xml</manifest>
         </namespace>         
         <namespace>
            <uri>http://flex.apache.org/mx/ns</uri>
            <manifest>mx-manifest.xml</manifest>
         </namespace>
         <namespace>
            <uri>http://flex.apache.org/mxml/ns</uri>
            <manifest>mxml-manifest.xml</manifest>
         </namespace>


And create a project like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://flex.apache.org/mxml/2009/ns"; 
                xmlns:s="http://flex.apache.org/spark/ns"; 
                xmlns:mx="http://flex.apache.org/mx/ns";>
        <s:Label text="hello" />
</s:Application>


But you get this error:
"Unable to resolve MXML language version. Please specify the language namespace 
on the root document tag."

Adding a namespace like this removes the error:
xmlns:oldfx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";

But is obviously hardly ideal.

Worse off FlashBuilder component name completion seems broken as if you type s: 
you get a list of components starting with "s1:" not "s:" even though there is 
no s1 namespace.

So it looks like the existing names spaces are hard coded into Flash Builder in 
some way which is unfortunate to say the least.

Thanks,
Justin
