Hi all,

one question: Is it enough to package up the src directories of all modules in 
the "projects" directory to allow the code-insights?

I'm asking, cause I'm only packing up the essential parts of the "asjs" project 
and don't want to have a half build system included.

Betreff: AW: [MAVEN DISTRIBUTION] getting the Ant and Maven aligned

Aaaaah ... ok ... thanks for the explanation.

That does make sense ... guess I just never completely understood the typedef 
stuff ;)

... so I'll have to find a way to streamline the names of the typedef libraries 
in all of these 2 (Well actually probably just 2)
- external-library-path
- js-external-library-path

But that will be a thing for tomorrow ... calling it a day and signing off for 
today.

I just pushed my changes from today ... so if you folks want to check what I'm 
doing ... now you have something to look at :.)

Chris

Betreff: Re: [MAVEN DISTRIBUTION] getting the Ant and Maven aligned

As you've seen, there are three different external-library-path options:
external-library-path, js-external-library-path and swf-external-library-path.

By default, external-library-path is used by both JS and SWF targets, but you 
can use js-external-library-path or swf-external-library-path to override the 
external-library-path for a specific target.

In other words, if js-external-library-path is defined:

- the JS target will use js-external-library-path, and it will ignore 
external-library-path
- the SWF target will still use external-library-path

Similarly, if swf-external-library-path is defined:

- the SWF target will use swf-external-library-path, and it will ignore 
external-library-path
- the JS target will still use external-library-path

 If both js-external-library-path and swf-external-library-path are defined:

- the JS target will use js-external-library-path, and it will ignore 
external-library-path
- the SWF target will use swf-external-library-path, and it will ignore 
external-library-path

The air-config.xml, flex-config.xml, and royale-config.xml configs are all 
expected to be used for both JS and SWF targets. Different libraries are needed 
for each target, so we're using js-external-library-path to override which 
libraries are used for the JS target. The SWF target will use 
external-library-path.

The other -config.xml files are configs that are expected to be used with JS 
only. Basically, these ones can use external-library-path directly because they 
don't need to target SWF. If we wanted, we could change them to use 
js-external-library-path instead, and they should still work.

In theory, we could always use js-external-library-path and 
swf-external-library-path, and never use external-library-path. However, I do 
not recall if there was some legacy reason (like Flash Builder support) for why 
we defaulted to playerglobal.swc on the external-library-path for the SWF 
target instead of using swf-external-library-path. I think that 
js-external-library-path or swf-external-library-path were introduced before I 
started working on the compiler, so I can only guess.
