Joe,
Thanks for the information. I'm trying to compile the flex file in an
exploded web application as well, but I'm still getting a no class
found exception. Here are some comments and questions to clarify my
problem:
1. Here is my exploded flex web application directory structure
relative to my build.xml:
flex/
- contains my build.xml file
flex/webapp/MyApplication
- root context for my webapp application
- contains MyApplication.mxml
flex/webapp/MyApplication/WEB-INF/flex/jars
- contains Flex jar libraries (i.e. mxmlc.jar)
2. With the fork option set to true can I still use relative paths or
do I need to use full paths?
3. Here are some questions with regards to your suggested parameter
and my assumptions as to what they should point be:
* jar=${flex.mxmlc.jar}
- Should be a relative path to the mxmlc.jar file (i.e.
webapp/MyApplication/WEB-INF/flex/jars/mxmlc.jar)
* dir=${app.dir}
- I'm not sure what this should point to. Should this be my current
working directory or root context to my web application?
* ${flex.dist.lib}
- I assume this points to the Flex jars directory (i.e.
webapp/MyApplication/WEB-INF/flex/jars)
* webroot
- I assume this should point to the root directory of my web application.
If you have further information on the above questions I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Brett
