RequirementsFabrication uses Ant build files to build itself. To run the build files you need Apache Ant version 1.6.5+. Checking out the sourcesTo build Fabrication you need the main frameworks branch of the repository. The checkout url is below, http://fabrication.googlecode.com/svn/framework/trunk/ Once you have checked out the framework repository, you need to provide it the path to your flex sdk. To do this create a file user.properties in the directory that you checked out fabrication, along side the build.properties. Then add a property flex.dir pointing to the directory of your flex sdk. For instance, if you flex sdk was in C:\flex\sdk\3.0, your user.properties would look like, flex.dir = C:/flex/sdk/3.0 Now you can build the Fabrication swcs. To do this, run the following command from the directory that you checked out the repository. ant swc This will create the swcs for the current version of Fabrication in the dist directory. To create the swc for just the flex platform use, ant swc-flex Main TargetsThe main targets in the Fabrication build file are described below. | all | Removes previous compiled files and rebuilds the main application and generates asdocs | | asdoc | Generates asdocs | | asdoc-full | Generates asdocs for all classes | | asdoc-public | Generates public asdocs | | build | Builds runner, modules and resolver layouts | | build-layout-modules | Compiles all the resolver layout modules | | build-modules | Compiles the modules used in the unit tests | | build-test-runner | Compiles the Fabrication test runner | | clean | Removes all build generated files | | clean-coverage | Removes all files generated by flexcover | | clean-generated | Removed files generated with the keep-generated-actionscript switch | | dist | Builds swcs and zip for distribution | | main | Default target, build | | publish-asdoc | Publishes all asdocs to the svn | | publish-asdoc-full | Publishes full asdocs to the svn | | publish-asdoc-manual | The svntask takes more time than a tsvn commit. This target does prep work to commit manually | | publish-asdoc-public | Publishes public asdocs to the svn | | publish-to-googlecode | Publishes the current source to the google code downloads | | run | Launches the test runner | | scaffold-build | Generates the ant build for a project | | swc | Compiles the Fabrication swc for multiple platforms | | swc-air | Compiles the Fabrication swc for air | | swc-dependencies | Create swcs for all Fabrication dependencies | | swc-flash | Compiles the Fabrication swc for flash | | swc-flex | Compiles the Fabrication swc for flex | | swc-main-dependencies | Creates a common swcs of all the main line dependencies | | swc-test | Creates an swc out of the test line | | swc-test-dependencies | Creates a common swc of all the test line dependencies | | test | Builds test runner, modules, and launches the runner | | test-layout-module | Builds the module specified by layout.module.src and launches the runner | | upgrade-app | Freezes the current Fabrication swc into a project | | upgrade-example | Upgrades the specified example | | upgrade-examples | Upgrades all examples | | zip | Generates a zip file from the trunk |
ExamplesMost of the Fabrication example applications can be build using ant. If you have checked out only specific examples you will need to add/modify the fabrication.dir property in the build.properties to the directory where Fabrication is checked out or where the Fabrication source zip was extracted. Then to build and run the application you can run the following command in the directory of the application example. ant
