Apache Flex 4.9 RC 2

Hi,

I've made a RC 2 release build, it compiles and passes the checkin tests. 

It can be found here:
http://people.apache.org/~jmclean/Apache%20Flex%204.9.0%20Release%20Candidate%202/

However I've run into a couple of issues.

1. ant creates FB config files in (/ide/flashbuilder), I assume this is a FB 4.7 feature. Currently I can only run FB 4.6 as my 4.7 trial has expired and Adobe not sent me my new serial number yet.

This can be fixed by editing the flex-config.xml in the framework directory and replacing {playergolobalHome} to be libs/player.

Should this be fixed or should the build script assume users are using FB 4.7?

2. When compiling form FB 4.6 batik causes a RTE

!ENTRY com.adobe.flexbuilder.project 4 43 2012-12-12 17:59:32.258

Now I assume this is a Java version mismatch, I'm compiling with Java version 1.7.0_10 and eclipse/FB seems to be configured to use 1.7.0_10 but something is obviously not quite right. 

As this may be a local configuration issue can someone download the source package in the RC 2 link above, compile it and try it out with a simple project.

Thanks,
Justin

I get an error though when I try to compile with -locale=pt_PT using SDK 4.9.1 and I see that there is no textLayout_rb.swc in frameworks/locale/pt_PT.

Yep looks like a typo and thanks for pointing it out. I don't think it would cause any issues as the build.xml file is used in the build process. As far as I'm aware the build_framework.xml file is just there for historical reasons.

Another issue for the RC2 list is the the frameworks/build.xml file in the
binary kit does not build cleanly.  This file is build_framework.xml in
the tree.

It is possible to use FlashBuilder as an Eclipse plug-in.  In that case I
would expect the -vm option to work but I haven't tried it.

This morning I got back from the FB team:

We have not tried this workflow as Java 7 is not a supported/tested
runtime on the Mac for FB 4.7.

My guess is the same applies to Windows but I believe I just asked about
the OSX.  I suppose we should add this to our RELEASE_NOTES to save others
the trouble we both went thru.

Hi,

It looking to me that we're unable to support Java7 compiled version of the SDK when using FB 4.6/4.7 (on OSX at least).

Can anyone confirm the same issue exist on Windows with RC 2?

Justin,

I went thru all the same steps yesterday.  I sent mail to the FlashBuilder
team in India before I left yesterday with essentially all the info you
have in your email.  I was hoping to find a response this morning but I
did not.  If I don't hear back by tomorrow I will ask again.  I suspect FB
4.6 has the same issue.

Hi,

After a little more investigation it seem it's a Flash builder issue, Flash Builder uses JRE 1.6 even if you configure it for  JRE 1.7.

Looking in the config (about Flash Builder, click on installation details then configuration) you see:
-vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework

On my version of OSX (10.7.5)  this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/java -version

Gives:
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

Which is not the default JRE set in Java preferences (in system preferences). Adding a -vm option in the flashbuilder.ini file has no effect and setting the JRE to be 1.7 in in preferences in Installed JRE's also has no effect. So it looking like a Flash Builder issue which we may not be able to do anything about.

I've not tried Flash Builder 4.7 but the release notes for OSX say it only supports Java 1.6 not Java 1.7.

Has anyone got FB 4.6 to run with Java 1.7 on OSX?

Thanks,
Justin

Then something is broken.  It should be the same for both versions.  I'm
still not sure what you are trying to tell me but I will take a look at it.

The make-sdk target only works fro FB 4.7. FB 4.6 expect flex-confic.xml to be in the frameworks directory.and for that flex-config.xml {playerglobalHome} token is not expanded.

Look at the batik build script it expects $JAVA_HOME to be set so if it not it may be getting the wrong version.

I'm not sure what you're asking.  This files are for internal use if you
want to use your development tree as a FB SDK.   I use the make-sdk target
for either FB 4.6 or 4.7.  These files aren't on the kit are they?

Yup, that's the FB/Java 1.7 issue I told you about.  I haven't debugged it
but I've certainly run into it.

Re: Apache Flex 4.9 RC 2

Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
I have checked in everything to the release4.9 branch that I think we need
to get mustella to pass.  I will do another run tonight, which I expect to
go well.

I'm actually running the mustella tests in the develop branch against a
modified RC.  To do so, set sdk.dir in the mustella/local.properties and
FLEX_HOME environment variables to the rc, then run mini_run from the
develop branch's mustella folder.

If we can get a new RC that includes my last changes (rev 1422140) I will do
the run against that instead.

I'll also check if we missing any of the new locales.

Wonderful, I wasn't optimistic there was  good solution to that. Why FB 4.7 wont let you compile for Java 1.7, especially when 1.6 it's being EOLed in February is beyond me.

I'll see if I can package it up with AIR 3.4.

We've also not decided on what version of flash player to go with, as we're not using any of the new features in 11.2-11.5 I'll just stick with 11.1 as the default for now.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: Apache Flex 4.9 RC 2

Justin,

I worked on the kit this morning.  Here is where I am leaving it:

1.  The build number was not set in RC2 when you build it.  You can see
this because the build number is not set in flex-sdk-description.xml (and
there none of the Version.as files).  See build/build_release.sh for how I
did it for 4.8.0.
2.  apache.swc and experimental.swc were missing from the binary kit so I
added them.
3.  I add a java source and target of 1.6 to the compile target in the
batik build file so if you build the compiler with Java 1.7, FlashBuilder
4.7 seems happy.
4.  makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh works with the new binary kit which
includes #2 and #3 and FB 4.7.
5.  We did not make a decision on what version of AIR to recommend/run
mustella with.  I think AIR 3.1 is too old.  I've been using AIR 3.4 for
about a month now.  I'm pretty sure AIR 3.5 is just about to be released.
I think we need to pick a newer version, update the README and the URL in
makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh/bat and update our AIR_HOME global
variables/env.properties files to use it.  The installer should be updated
as well.
