             Summary: bin/fontswf throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: flash/swf/tags/DefineTag exception
                 Key: FLEX-33184
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33184
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release)
         Environment: either
            Reporter: Carol Frampton
            Priority: Minor


fontswf won't run

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: flash/swf/tags/DefineTag
	at com.adobe.fonts.transcoder.Font2SWF.main(Unknown Source)

The fontswf script uses Adobe's flex-fontkit.jar which was moved to the lib/external/optional dir per Apache's guidelines.  The manifest for this jar expects these jars in the same directory as flex-fontkit.jar.

Class-Path: afe.jar aglj40.jar rideau.jar swfutils.jar

but swfutils.jar is in lib.

workaround: copy or link lib/swfutils.jar to lib/external/optional
