Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is time consuming
i usually switch off autobuild on save... and only build when i am ready.. also breaking up into swc files seem to have helped. Flex is definitely slow for me on a 4 GB RAM + 4 Core (Quadro/Xeon)Processor.. i wish there was some tweaks that would make flex use all the processors. regards, Varun On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 9:04 PM, Guy Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe someone from Adobe could shed light on this? > > On 19/08/2008, at 11:00 AM, Douglas Knudsen wrote: > > > I'd assume the DTD gets cached in Eclipse though.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex is time consuming
We currently use maven which does cut it down to a lightning fast 40-45 seconds. We've also used ant with not much better results. Java compiler with far more classes and code is generally around 8-10 seconds. Also, by running via ant, don't you lose some of the nice IDE features like flagging the files/lines that are bad, giving a list of compile errors in the IDE which then allow you simple double click them and take you right there? Not to mention not having to run an ant script every time I change a file vs simply saving and getting instant (well instant once Flex 4 comes) feedback on syntax. Don't get me wrong... We only use IDE compiles during development. All of are builds are done via maven scripts as well as continuous integration builds. Not "from developer box to prod" here. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "JWOpitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "I also believe that Adobe needs to kick it into gear and come out > with a patch ASAP that addresses the, from my experience, the absolute > slowest compiler on the planet." > > If you haven't already, learn to use the command-line compiler and an > ANT script then.

In my experience, Flex sometimes takes forever to compile when I'm on a lousy network. I've always wondered if it was due to it doing some http connections or DNS lookups, for reasons unknown (network licence checking perhaps?).

[flexcoders] Re: Flex is time consuming
Although I agree that 16000 lines of code broken between only 7 classes certainly seems like a further break down of code into smaller classes is necessary, I also believe that Adobe needs to kick it into gear and come out with a patch ASAP that addresses the, from my experience, the absolute slowest compiler on the planet. Also with that, they need to get a patch out that doesn't go into a full workspace build just because I make a small change to a class. I've even simply added a space and saved which caused a full workspace build. To me, placing this as a top priority for Flex 4 is great and I thank them for that, but that doesn't help me now. My single greatest productivity killer right now is having to wait 60-90 seconds everytime I save a file. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Howard Fore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds like you need to break it down further... > > On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 9:30 AM, litesh_b321 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi gyus > > i have around 16000 line of code > > which is already broke up in two mxml file and five class file > > > > > -- > Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > "The universe tends toward maximum irony.
