I posted my binary packages here: http://people.apache.org/~aharui/FlexJS/binaries/ Running "ant -f installer.xml install" worked for me on mac. I'm going to be trying on Windows tomorrow. You will need to modify the local.properties to point to the installer-config-4.0.xml and other packages.

Bummer. Well in the Adobe days we'd put the code change behind a version flag. I never liked those flags if they controlled more than one code path because you had to take all new code paths or none. Lately I've put static flags in the class in question so you can change the code paths that way.

Hi, OK I tried it out and yes for 4.11 it silently discards any RTEs that occur in user's getter code. The changes in develop mean that you will see a RTE if one occurs in a user getter. Thanks, Justin

Yeah, wiki stuff is out of date. You'll need to set up environment variables. Hopefully the error messages are informative enough to give you a clue. I'll try to take a shot at updating the wiki. I might also be able to post my binaries after I get a few kinks worked out. -Alex On 1/4/14 6:03

IIUC, Apache is a non-profit and there are some limitations, both tax-wise and policy-wise, that don't allow for paid support revenue. Realistically, there is currently free, essentially 24/7 support for Apache Flex via the mailing lists. We luckily have key committers and active community member

Good catch, thanks! They might limit to the "per incident" support. I'll call Monday, ask and will let you guys know. Would it be totally unrealistic to consider the idea of Apache providing this kind of support. Maybe not the unlimited plan, to be honnest it went down the sink and the technician
