To summarize my understanding: The metadata tag [Mixin], used by databinding's autogenerated xxxWatcherSetupUtil classes, causes a reference to added to the main apps SystemManager. If I add a library project to the build path and choose link type "External", this reference is still added. This results in a null object exception during startup.
Is there someway to tell the compiler to ignore/not process the Mixin tag for classes from the library project. Something in addition to link type "External"? My library project contains a module and the xxxFlexModuleFactory class ensures that the xxxWatcherSetupClass is initialized correctly. So all I need to do is prevent the exception happening during startup. --- In [email protected], "schtoo2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Its trying to load a class called > _mypackage_MyPanelSetupWatcherUtil.
