Changes in Antennae 1.0001Flex based AIR application support New targets and tasks have been added to support the building, running, and packaging of Flex based AIR applications. A sample project has been put together that demonstrates the use of these new targets. A key concept used in AIR application support is the concept of an "assets" directory. Since the AIR ADT application packager requires you to specify each file that should be bundled into the application, Antennae has instead chosen to specify a single directory. The goal being that by default all files under "assets" will be packaged with the application and there is no need to include these files in the source tree. Simplified importing All template applications have been updated to use the new single build-common-imports.xml file to pull in all standard Antennae build files.Source code included The source code for the ARC-FlexUnit pieces are now bundled with Antennae. This is for reference purposes. To rebuild the platform please grab the latest source code from the SVN repository for Antennae. http://antennae.googlecode.com/svn/ Linux fixes Fixed bug about not being able to run automated unit tests on Linux. Updated Filesbuild-user.properties.mac Updated to include new required and optional AIR properties. build-user.properties.win Updated to include new required and optional AIR properties. templates/Sample?/build.xml Updated to reference new build-common-imports.xml file. New Filestools/build-common-imports.xml This provides a single file that projects can import that will pickup all the other standard build-common-?.xml files. templates/SampleAIRApplication Sample project that demonstrates using the new AIR targets (described below) to build and run a Flex based AIR application. New Targets (tools/build-common-targets.xml)air-application Compiles an AIR application based on a project.mxml and project-app.xml file existing the in source directory.air-library Compiles source that use AIR APIs into a .swc for use by other AIR applications.air-application-stage Copies the compiled application, descriptor, and assets directory into a stage directory for running or packaging. air-package Creates a .air file using ADT based on the content of the stage directory. Includes certificate support.air-launch Launch your AIR application from the stage directory using ADL. New Tasks (tools/build-common-tasks.xml)adl Handles calling ADL with the needed arguments to run an AIR application.adt Handles calling ADT with to package an AIR application. New Properties (tools/build-common-properties.xml)project.air Name of the .air file to produce when packaging an AIR application. Default: ${project.name}.air project.air.desc Name of the AIR descriptor file that should be used for running and packaging the application. Default: ${project.name}-app.xml air.config Location of the AIR specific configuration file used by the Flex compiler to build an AIR application. Default: ${flex2.frameworks.dir}/air-config.xml air.adt.jar Location of the ADT jar that is used to package an AIR application. Default: ${flex2.dist.lib}/adt.jar src.assets.dir Location of a directory that includes files that should be bundled with the AIR application. Default: assets build.assets.dir Location that the contents of the assets directory are copied to when staging the AIR application. Default: ${build.stage.dir}/assets air.adl Location of the ADL executable. Default: ${flex2.dir}/bin/adl.exe (windows) or ${flex2.dir}/bin/adl (mac) New unspecified propertiesair.certificate Required by air-package target Location of the certificate file to sign the AIR application with. No default, specify in build-user.properties air.certificate.password Optional, will prompt if not specified Password associated with the certificate file No default, optionally specify in build-user.properties |
