[FALCON] Mustella Setup

[Cyrill Zadra <cy...@gmail.com>]

Hi

Started to setup my environment to run mustella with falcon instead of the
legacy compiler.

Following steps had to been executed before I could run the mustella tests:

1) First downloaded & builded flex sdk  from develop branch
2) Builded Falcon and referenced the newly builded flex sdk.
3) Change the sdk.dir property in local.properties to
../falcon/compiler/generated/dist/sdk
4) Now my environment was ready to run mustella tests.

So I did randomly test a few direcoteries and recognized there are in quite
a lot of tests compile errors.

So I'm starting with tests/Managers/PopupManager and the errors I got here
were in general the follwing two.

    [java]
C:\dev\apache-flex\sdk\mustella\tests\Managers\PopUpManager\Methods\PopUpManager_methods.mxml:166
     [java] Error: Cannot parse a value of type 'Object' from ''.
     [java]                         <AssertPropertyValue target="ta"
propertyName="text" value="" />

   [java]
C:\dev\apache-flex\sdk\mustella\tests\Managers\PopUpManager\SWFs\PopUpManager_Basic.mxml:20
     [java] Error: Cannot parse a value of type 'Object' from ''.
     [java] <mx:Application backgroundColor="0xFFFFFF" backgroundImage=""
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="800" height="700"

But where does now the problem lies.. is it the falcon compiler which can
not parse a '' value if its a Object .. or is this behaviour correct? Or
does I have the extends te tests .. Maybe an <AssertStringPropertyValue />
where the value is a String. I'm sorry for this question .. I'm just trying
to understand it.

Yes the falcon build copies all swc from a referenced flex sdk.

       <!-- Copy portions of this SDK to create Falcon's generated SDK -->
        <copy todir="${sdk}" includeEmptyDirs="false">
            <fileset dir="${sdk.branch}">
            <include name="lib/**/*"/>
                <include name="frameworks/**/*"/>
                <exclude name="frameworks/projects/**/*"/>
             </fileset>
        </copy>

Ok. In the mean time tested some directories and summarized the result in

I'm not sure that was right.  Or did the 4.8 swcs end up there somehow?

We'll have to wait for Gordon.  It would be bad for this kind of thing to no
longer work.
