Carol Frampton commented on FLEX-33110:
---------------------------------------
Note that on a Mac, you will need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X version
10.7.3 (Lion) as well as Ant 1.8 or higher. On a Mac, Java 7 only compiles in
64-bit mode so compilations are quite a bit slower than they are with Java 6 in
32-bit mode.

> I've changed the SDK a bit to be able to build it with Java 7. Everything
> seems to compile, although that is no guarantee that things will actually
> work.
> The main problem is the Batik dependency. The version used by the trunk
> version is 1.6. When building with Java 7, this results in some compiler
> errors for classes in the com.sun.* packages. So I've updated the build
> scripts to use Batik version 1.7 (there is an option to NOT use the Sun
> classes in the build file of that version) and resolved some more compilation
> issues (missing dependency xml-apis-ext.jar, API changes in the dependencies).
> Attached is a patch with the changes. Please try this out if you have a
> moment and let me know if this works for you. These changes are compatible
> with Java 6, so when applying the patch you should still be able to build the
> SDK without changing your Java installation.
