I believe I have convinced the management to go with Apache Royale as part the Deflexing effort of our Flex applications. The first project is going to be very important and they are going to monitor it closely.
I want to be realistic and figure out the best approach and I need your help on this. I am an enterprise java developer with working knowledge of the UI technologies. I understand the Flex programming model but don't have any hands on experience. I tried to get an emulation component working. I struggled. I was able to get the emulation working by cut/paste/edit with the Royale class implementation but this may not be the best approach. I now realise that my developer and I don't have the necessary skillset to get the emulation components implemented in a timely manner. This is a huge risk. How can I mitigate this risk? Is it realistic to count on you guys to deliver the emulation components ( not sure )? Can I go with the Apache Royale native APIs ( Jewel, Basic, Express etc ) for the mx/spark components that are not emulated? Also the 3rd party APIs used in my application are AlivePDF.swc Cairngorm.swc CairngormEnterprise.swc diagrammer.swc drumbeatinsight.swc granite.swc kap-layouts-1.6.2.swc MaskedTextInput.swc multicolumnform.swc svg-1.6.2.swc flex-iframe-1.4.6.swc ObjectHandles-1.0.0013.swc Any experience/recommendation in handling the 3rd party libraries? I am working on the Prototype for the Management currently. But I was thinking of trying to get the Application ( all components ) compiled using the royale-asjs by adding stub for the missing mx/spark components. Any other recommendations? Again thanks a bunch for your help on this. -- Sent from: http://apache-royale-development.20373.n8.nabble.com/
