RE: [flexcoders] Project References vs. ActionScript Build Path

2006-08-23 Thread Daniel Thompson
Thanks Martin; this is good information. It sounds like the JDT has a good
solution, although I wouldn't mind seeing behavior similar to Visual Studio
where referenced projects are built and then added to the bin directory of the
referencing project. I recently read a thread here talking about how to handle
multiple swf/swc projects and I hope to see further discussion on these topics
in the future.

Thanks again for your insight,
-DT

 Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Project References vs. ActionScript Build Path
 
 This was something i've been wondering about so I double checked the behaviour
 of the JDT and search the help and it says this :
 
 'The referenced project list is used to determine the build order. A project
 is
 always built after all its referenced projects are built.'
 
 BUT, adding a project to the referenced project list doesnt automatically add
 it
 to the build path.
 
 For a Java project there is a tab on the 'Java Build Path' for 'Referenced
 Projects' which does add them to the build path..
 
 What I do miss from the JDT is exactly that, a referenced projects tab on the
 Flex Build Path (also adding multiple source folders for a single project
 would
 be nice..)
 
 The current 'browse the whole filesystem' feels a bit clumsy in comparison...
 
 but the JDT has had a long time to get to where it is..hopefully flex builder
 will soon incorporate those good features.
