During my experiments with the current i18n implementation in the SDK
I noticed that the current Apache Flex source does not include the
mx.utils.PerfUtil class (referenced from within a conditional
compilation block in mx.resources,ResourceManager) while the Adobe
Flex SDK 4.6 does include this. S

ok, maybe I chose the wrong wording here. Not inconsistent, just different :-)
Anyways, having compiler warning for missing keys sounds good.

I'm currently experimenting on how to improve resource management in
future Apache Flex versions.
It all started when I wanted to mimic the Android IDE (ADT) behavior
where ADT automatically creates a class R with static accessors for
project resources. E.g. a default Android project has a /src an

I'll check later - the target was "release" but the error happened in
one of the dependencies, something like "Basedir /mustella does not
exist"

I tried to build the release SDK from the source download
(apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src.zip) which failed because the
/mustella directory is not included.

I just gave compiling from source a try and it went through to the
point where the Batik jar gets compiled and packaged - there Ant
exited with an error. The reason was that the "jar" program was not
known to the system which was due to the fact that JAVA_HOME/bin was
not on the search path. This w

Just wondered if we could circumvent the issues with hosting and

using native function declarations. This way we could link against the

E.g. for the playerglobal flash.
thanks Alex - good to know this.

I'm afraid that will be the case as well. Interestingly, there's also

AFAIK Adobe stated that they will continue to provide support for Flex
4.6 for existing customers (i.e. key accounts with enterprise support)
so I expect that they add fixes / additions to Adobe Flex. Do we need
to backport them to Apache Flex? Don't know. Also, there's this CS SDK

of course not, and I really like the idea of having a contrib or samples area.

true, no binaries in the SVN - but the ASF itself hosts a Maven repo:
https://repository.apache.org so the SWCs will be published there as
artifacts.

agree. I also think this should be handled differently and not by Apache Flex.
IMHO there is no "right" (nor "wrong") way in how to architect a Flex
application at all. And as you can see it's actually depending very
much on your very POV and preferences. Getting consensus on this hot

I like it.
Maybe add a little more context regarding the whiteboard (not everyone
knows what this is and lots of us also just learned about it the other

agreed. There are lots of non-official forums and lists already,
especially if you look at country / region specific ones where people
not necessarily want to discuss stuff in English all the time. And in

The most interesting thing that happened to Java (or more specifically
to the JVM) in the last few yeras is how the community came up with
solutions on how to improve the platform from the "outside" by not
waiting for Sun or Oracle to deliver something. Examples are Groovy
and more recently Scala.
really depends on the client I think. We got some inquiries recently, the
biggest was some 100+ days of pure Flex work - and they *did* know the full
story, but they also know there's no alternative for them.
Other clients did not knew the story, we told them because we think it's
fair to tell it
README files are also handy when it comes to describing how to set up the
project, build it, list required dependencies etc.

true, we may not need a new framework to do DI in Flex, there are plenty of
DI frameworks.
But what we DO need in the core Flex classes is the ability to inject
dependencies directly into the classes instead of having the classes create
their dependencies themselves (in worst case statically or in

Alex,
do you mean "commit-and-review" like in "commit to SVN"?
Or is it meant that people contribute the code (through JIRA), tell people
on the list about it so the code can get reviewed, voted in/out and
eventually comitted to the SVN by some committers?
