As the original author of the Spring ActionScript framework, I might be a bit biased towards Swiz, but I don't think an IoC container belongs in the core of the Flex framework. Swiz is just one of the IoC implementations out there that most likely will not fit all scenarios in which you want to use an IoC container. It will most certainly also not be the preferred IoC implementation for a good part of the Flex developers, hence the existence of alternatives.
I would much rather like to see a project with (small) libraries as extensions to the core Flex framework, think AS3Commons (reflection, metadata, logging, etc). These building blocks are much more generic in use compared to an IoC implementation and could be used as a basis for an ad hoc IoC container. 2015-02-09 17:10 GMT+01:00 Gary Yang <flashflex...@gmail.com>: > Oh, Please do NOT merge it into the SDK, IOC is not the only way to void > boilerplate, and Swiz is not the only way to IOC! > > On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 1:44 AM, Eric <eh.fx...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > That's a shame.
