Web Tier Compiler
In the BlazeDS audit, it was discovered that the Web Tier Compiler is not donated to Apache. Is anybody actually using it? If so, I will look into donating it, but don't reflexively say yes since working on that donation will delay some FlexJS work.

I highly suspect anyone would be using web-tier compiler anymore, in the remotest possibility that anyone is
It can be easily replaced by a java wrapper script that invokes mxmlc
Thanks,

To be clear, this is not about the source for the 1.1 compiler or any compiler that supports AS2. Apparently there is a compiler that supports Flex 3 and AS3. Is anyone using that?

Because CF still uses the 1.1 Flex compiler... Which didn't have a standalone compiler..
Better yet, there is now about 8 years of crazy as2 code out there built in CF that depends on this old version.
Sigh.

I was using it while I was a customer that purchased the BlazeDS product.
I haven't since the 2.6.1 days....

Well I enjoy backwards compatibility, so I guess have to put up w/the

Like I said, I have no idea why ColdFusion ships these things :-)

Snap.
If the web tier compiler vanished off the face of the earth, all the
affected people need to do is run the .mxml through mxmlc and make a
tiny change to the hosting HTML page, as far as I can tell.
As soon as there was a standalone compiler, everyone I know stopped
using the compile-on-the-fly one. I have no idea why things like
ColdFusion still ship it !

I'm assuming the web tier compiler is the one where we can load an MXML
file from the server much like one would load a JSP and it will compile the
app on first request and return the SWF? I personally don't have a need for
that, but others may. I'd rather push through the current BlazeDS then work
on that portion later if there is a need for it.

+1 from my side.
The web tier compiler would be very useful for a project I am working on
right now. I would rather use the Apache License than Adobe's license.
But if you think you can put that somewhere in your queue in the next 6
months, that would be fine as well. I certainly don't want FlexJS to
suffer because of this.
