"it elevates ant to a level of a "master build" and anyone doing something else has to figure out how to make it work." I think that is the point. We cannot afford to have more than one 'master' build mechanism at a time. People are free to try other ways to build the Flex SDK - no one is trying

Dear list, Talking about displays and their native ppi:s we've mentioned ANEs a couple of time. I've tried to research this, because I believe there are real use-cases if we could get it to work – layout elements based on the users context, not his/hers device. I'm a FLEX developer and feel th

I think this is an excellent idea. The ANT Task could replace user-defined tokens inside both the HTML pages and .AS/MXML files for copy. BTW:The older Flash Ford Sync website (2009?) had an alternative HTML version that displayed the same content as the Flash Version (complete with images and me

I'd agree with the comment about it doesn't matter what we build Flex with as long as it's available on the maven repo. I haven't looked at the build script just yet, but as long as it doesn't have external dependencies that needs to be added to the codebase, I don't have any issue with using Ant.
