After trying and failing to do any Falcon work today, I'll keep complaining
about this. The unit tests are no longer working in Eclipse. I get
command line
Error: unable to open
'D:\Apache\incubator\flex\falcon\trunk\compiler\generated\dist\sdk\frameworks\
mxml-2009-manifest.xml'.
command line
Error: unable to open
'D:\Apache\incubator\flex\falcon\trunk\compiler\generated\dist\sdk\frameworks\
libs\player\11.1\playerglobal.swc'.
This is presumably because the SDK is no longer being copied into a
place that
the unit tests can find them. The unit tests can't use an
environment variable
to find them because it is infeasible to specify that environment every time
you want to make an Eclipse debug config for a particular unit test.
Is there some way to make this work in Eclipse that I don't know about, so
that every JUnit test "just work" without having to customize a
run-config or
debug-config for it?
If not, I will restore some ant targets to do the SDK copying. Alex may not
want to use them, but I need to.

OK, then I'll stop complaining.

The versions in compiler/commandline already looked for FLEX_HOME
environment
variable.

I should have said Falcon's 'mxmlc' and 'compc' shell scripts.

So, how does Falcon's 'asc' shell script do its job? Did you make it
use an environment variable to find an SDK?

You mean like the mxmlc and compc scripts? They take a FLEX_HOME
environment variable and seem to be working.
Falcon isn't going to be independent of the SDK in the sense of being
external to it. The goal is for it to replace the old compiler *in*
the SDK. I don't want to be polluting an SDK with Falcon until it is
ready, but it made sense to me to copy whatever SDK you want test
Falcon with into Falcon's directory, so that everything is relative
to each other as it will eventually be.
I guess I haven't given up on the vision of Falcon being so
independent that it doesn't have to be in every SDK release. For
sure, I am currently working on a "new SDK" and I want Falcon and
FalconJS to work with it. I want to finish the vision of not having to
change Falcon for every version of the SDK.
That would eventually allow the SDK folder to not contain any java
code, and changing SDK versions becomes a matter of changing SWCs and not
JARs.
And I don't want to eliminate the possibility that someone will take
on the effort to integrate Falcon into an IDE.
