greg-dove opened a new issue #116: SWC builds appear to add all files to 
'definition stores', which includes (in some cases) files with no actual 
definitions.
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/116
 
 
   A good example of this seems to be the XML swc build for SWF.
   
   It correctly generates an empty swc with no definitions other than an 
internal swf with the container 'XMLClasses' class which has no content and no 
dependencies.
   But all files in the local project seem to be scanned, despite 
'include-classes' only specifying XMLClasses as the root for determining 
dependencies.
   
   While building the **swf** swc, it lists the following warning(s) for 
XMLList and also for XML:
   
   Warning: The definition XMLList depended on by __AS3__.vec.Vector$object in 
the SWC 
C:\Users\Greg\.m2\repository\com\adobe\air\framework\airglobal\20.0\airglobal-20.0.swc
 could not be found
   
   What is happening here?
   As best I can tell it is like this:
   The local XML.as and XMLList.as files are added as DefinitionPromises in the 
SWF build, even though they are not actually supposed to be included.
   
   These DefinitionPromises for XML.as and XMLList.as 'shadow' the original 
definitions from the airglobal (or playerglobal) swc.
   
   The DefinitionPromises don't resolve to actual definitions, because (from a 
COMPILE::SWF perspective) the XML.as and XMLList.as files are 'empty'
   
   __AS3__.vec.Vector$object has some dependency on the original definitions in 
the airglobal.swc and these definitions from elsewhere within the swc are now 
hidden by the invalid DefinitionPromises from the local files... hence the 
warning.
   
   I was able to tweak some of the code in ASProjectScope to avoid this 
warning, but I was not at all confident that it is a correct 'solution'. Just 
noting that down here as the main location that seems important to work in for 
anyone else who might give attention to this. Otherwise it is probably not high 
priority, because it is a warning only.
