I'm not a Maven user, so maybe I'm unclear what the main use cases are. One of the ones that I was told about was quickly updating to new versions of Flex, and I assumed it might also mean updating to new versions of the player or AIR SDK.
I can see dropping in new versions of playerglobal.swc or airglobal.swc, but when building a .AIR file (and or an AIRI for signing) or a mobile package, I'm pretty sure other parts of the AIR SDK are involved and that they might change between AIR versions. Or can you install an AIR SDK once and change airglobal versions and it will all work? -Alex On 11/24/12 4:05 AM, "Frédéric THOMAS" <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > @Alex, not sure actually about what you mean by "cover release packaging of > AIR apps" but with flexmojos I can compile and package into AIR which once > installed run an .exe, all it needs is airglobal.swc and adt.jar. > > See > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/whiteboard/fthomas/developerTo > olSuite/trunk/ > > If I missed something, please let me know. > > - Fred. > > -----Message d'origine----- > From: Alex Harui > Sent: Friday, November 23, 2012 9:53 PM > To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: AW: AW: Who's a flex compiler-configuration pro on this list? > > OK, let's wait until next week and see if others agree that just having > different versions of airglobal.swc available from Adobe would be > sufficient.
