Last time this came up; the decision leaned towards:
"You can do what you want in your whiteboard; but don't commit project
files anywhere else."
Sometimes it just makes things harder; and projects are not always
easily transferable between machines.

Hi Carol,
I think Justin's question was more oriented around what's the best
practice for checking in .project, .flexLibProperties, and
.actionScriptProperties files? Should they be included in source
control or ignored?
I took a peek at some of the files included and they contain some
important information that would make any potential contributor's job
easy. For instance, in projects/framework/.actionScriptProperties,
there are a ton of additional compiler arguments that if I had to put
into every project like that, I'd go crazy:
additionalCompilerArguments="-keep-as3-metadata=Bindable,Managed,ChangeEvent,NonCommittingChangeEvent,Transient
-load-config+=framework-config.xml
--include-file=defaults.css,../defaults.css
-include-file=defaults-3.0.0.css,../defaults-3.0.0.css
-include-file=Assets.swf,../assets/Assets.swf
-include-file=assets/CalendarIcon.png,../assets/CalendarIcon.png
-namespace=library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx,../manifest.xml
-namespace+=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml,../manifest.xml
-resource-bundle-list=bundles.properties -library-path= -locale="
I'm in favor of either keeping this information in source control. I
don't want to have to remember all of that to make sure I'm building
the SDK correctly.
I suppose the other question that has to be asked, though, is whether
or not Flash Builder would be making different SWCs than the ant
scripts or where all of that information is included. It looks like
the ant scripts set the same arguments directly in the build.xml file.
When someone gets time, maybe we can move all those arguments to
framework-config.xml file and have both the .actionScriptProperties
and build.xml file reference those so it's more DRY? I'll do it
sometime this week, but someone is more than welcome to beat me to it.
Does anyone know if there's a quirk in the compiler that causes
information set in a flex-config.xml file to be ignored by either the
Ant or Flash Builder? If it's a bug in the compiler, I'll just leave
well enough alone until after Falcon.

It loos like lots of newlines got introduced but no code changes other
than the headers. I hink I'll rollback the commit and do it again.
Thanks for pointing that out. I usually diff my changes before committing
them but I obviously didn't this time.

Hi,
Noticed the ".project", ".actionScriptProperties" and
".flexLibProperties" mark marked as modified. Are they spposed to be
checked in?
Thanks,
Justin
