FlatSpark Donation

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>]

Hi Folks,

I believe Justin has been traveling, but as far as I can tell, the
FlatSpark donation is now complete and the donors (Mahmoud and Bruno) will
be checking the code into an Apache Flex repo shortly.  They have both
been given committer rights in order to shepherd the integration and
continued development of donated code.

Welcome Mahmoud, Bruno, and FlatSpark!

Thank you Mahmoud, I look forward to using the new theme on some of our
projects!

I think it is now complete. I just tested the .SWC generated with our
FlatSpark demo and everything is working as expected.

I also added the license mentioning the fonts license.

Actually, I don’t think you broke it.  It looks like the OS rebooted after
an update.  I’ll go restart Jenkins shortly.

The top-level LICENSE file needs to point to the fonts.

I would add:

This product bundles Font Awesome, which is available under an
“OFL" license.  For details, see
frameworks/projects/flatspark/assets/fonts/awesome.


And similar for Lato.

Some new components are not in the Spark.swc and in the Experimental.swc

I see Jenkins is failing the build after my commit, I'm not familiar with
it. Can anyone help me on this?

Re: FlatSpark Donation

[Mahmoud Ali <mu...@gmail.com>]

Sorry for the long delay. I added the license files for Font Awesome and
Lato. I also added the build script so the .SWC is generated.

I'm just having trouble generating the script when I use components of the
newer Flex versions (like Alert and ProgressBar). The compiler doesn't
recognize these components. When I run ant it says it can't find the
specified type.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

FWIW, I don¹t know how much the .bat file is used on Windows.  It could
have some bug.  I don¹t use it because I don¹t mix the external
dependencies into my repo working copies.  I have separate folders for
doing Flash Builder-based development and just use Ant on the working
copies.

Yes, in theory, running ³ant main² at the root of the flex-sdk repo will
create your SWC, and running ³ant release² will package the source and
SWC.  Then it will show up in the nightly builds and more folks can play
with it.  And running ³ant² from the flatspark folder should just build
the SWC.

Good luck,

Okay, I'll be working on the license file.

It is. I'm actually trying to build the SDK right now following the README,
I managed to run ant on the main folder and build the rsls with success,
but I'm getting an error when I try to execute the .bat about running the
SDK on Flash Builder:

constructFlexForIDE.bat

This gives me an error: ="] == [] goto gotApacheFlexDir was unexpected
at this moment.

I'm trying this on Windows 8.1.


I'm trying to build from source because I'm thinking this is how I'll
confirm that FlatSpark built with no errors when I finish setting the
build file for it. Is this correct?

Re: FlatSpark Donation

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>]

Awesome!  What¹s on your list for next things to do?

There are some bookkeeping tasks that need to be done at some point:
1) LICENSE file needs updating to mention the fonts in the donation.  I
think you can copy the pattern used in the LICENSE for the Open-Sans font.
2) Is the net result of these files a SWC?  If so, a build.xml and
compile-config.xml needs to be created and integrated into the main
build.xml.  You should be able to follow the pattern used in the other
swcs.

Thanks again for the donation.

I followed Om's suggestion and added it to frameworks/projects/flatspark

Tell me if there's something wrong with that location.

The pattern seems to be that the folders under the frameworks/themes just
contain the assets.  All the source code for the skins go in a folder under
frameworks/projects.  I see halo, sparkskins, mobiletheme and wireframe
follow this pattern.

And it seems like there should be a preview.jpg under the
frameworks/themes/[skinname] folder, probably for FlashBuilder to show in
the Themes tab.

I might be wrong, though.  This is the first time I am looking at this.

I think a sibling folder of sparkskins would make sense [1]

So, that would be frameworks/projects/flatspark

Re: FlatSpark Donation

I'm starting to add the FlatSpark files to the repository, I was talking to
Alex about using the develop branch or creating a new branch for the code.

We believe the code is simple enough that it could be committed to develop.
What is the opinion of everyone else on this?
