I don’t remember making Apache ASJS, but there are no JIRA tickets associated with it so I just went and deleted it.

Yep.

I don’t think I have a list in my head that will help you learn the tool chain. I want to suppress the GCC warnings, but I don’t think that will teach you much. I want to explore Josh’s idea of FalconJX with a native HTML swc so we can write all of our JS code in AS. If you want to work on that, that would be awesome, but it may not teach you how the FlexJS workflow is supposed to go. Peter and I are working on our own apps that use FlexJS. It rarely works like we’d like it to, then we fix the compiler or FlexJS code until it does. It might be best for you to simply start on a test app that uses your NativeExtension and try to get it working in Cordova. Or, if that feels like too big a bite, I’ll push the app I’m working on and you can work on it as well if you find it interesting. As always, I’m glad you have your and Fred’s and everyone else’s help. -Alex
