Building the SDK appears to fail in the batik-jars target of the modules/downloads.xml build file.
unzip-file: [unzip] Expanding: D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\in\batik-src-1.7.zip into D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\in copy-downloaded-jar: BUILD FAILED D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\build.xml:158: The following error occurred while executing this line: D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\modules\build.xml:64: The following error occurred while executing this line: D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\modules\downloads.xml:265: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <*> at index 53: D:\apache\flex\flex-sdk\modules\thirdparty\batik\lib\** at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.normalize(WindowsPathParser.java:182) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:153) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:77) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.parse(WindowsPath.java:92) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystem.getPath(WindowsFileSystem.java:229) at java.base/java.io.File.toPath(File.java:2290) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.isDanglingSymlink(Delete.java:879) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.execute(Delete.java:642) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:292) ... ... It appears ** is not valid in the dir attribute of delete maybe? I think I can just change the value to "${basedir}/${batik.dir}/lib" but wanted to post here to be sure of the intention of that target and if this is an error on other systems?
