Quoting Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com>:
My top priorities currently are:
0. Get the MXML handling working.
I have been studying the source code quite intently and I have to say,
there is a huge amount of potential in this code. Gordon and friends
did a wonderful job coding this framework, nice.
As this framework is huge, "Get MXML handling working" in my mind is a
broad statement. Gordon, do you care to add a bit to this to those
that feel like they want to start writing some code against this?
BTW, the javadoc for this is incredible. Thank you very much for the
effort put into the documentation.
I haven't gotten through the whole source yet but I noticed preprocess
things. Have you allowed for preprocess and post process of
AST/Compile from something loaded from the outside? I mean can I
extend something without recompiling the project with my code included.
PS I'm up for framework code contribution, I will be the first to
admit my experience with large build scripts, ant etc. is very limited
so I will be most efficient working within the falcon java code.

1. Get the top-level Ant targets working properly. For example,
'ant javadoc'
currently produces compilation errors, probably due to a classpath problem,
and 'ant main' produces an mxmlc which doesn't work due to another classpath
problem that you noticed.
2. Document the build process, either on wiki pages or in the
README file, so
that people understand what environment variables need to be set
and what Ant
targets to use.
3. Create JUnit tests in which Falcon builds each of the SDK SWCs.
As part of
this I want to change the SDK build scripts so that the <compc> tasks don't
have a bunch of configuration but instead simply load a config
file. Then the
JUnit test can use the same config file to compile the SWC in a
debuggable way
by calling Falcon's COMPC.main() entry point.
4. Update the SDK code to suit Falcon, because it is stricter than the old
compiler.
5. Log bugs for any SDK code that Falcon barfs on (either throwing Java
exceptions or reporting spurious errors or warnings).
6. Fix those bugs.
What you like to take on the conversion of the <compc> tasks to use config
files?
