Hi,
I just added a new module to the flex-asjs module called "distribution". This
is a maven module that uses the maven-assembly-plugin to produce bundles of
software. I am currently trying to make it automatically build installable
versions of the SDK [1]. It would be cool if you could have a look at what I'm
producing.
Currently the Ant build sort of builds the artifacts in-place. It's sort of
like living the house while you are building it. Everyone knows - or can at
least imaging - that's not nice ;-)
I think moving the static parts (like run scripts, config files, manifests
etc.) to the distribution module would clean up the project a lot.
I think the cleanest option would be to have a completely separate module
("flex-flexjs" for example) which does the distribution packaging and to have
it depend on flex-falcon and flex-asjs. This would separate compiler, framework
and distribution, but that's just my oppinion. I just think there's far too
much static stuff hanging around in the directories and I have no idea what is
used for what or if its obsolete.
