Well, I didn't say to use IDEA before the step 6, the more complicated part
is the sdk setup, once done, that's easy, in more those steps are nothing
relative to the videos you can find on internet but it works for me.
The 1srt part is Apache Flex specifics, the 2nd one is the best way I found.
At the beginning I tried to import the all SDK, it wasn't perfect but it
worked, then I preferred to do it per library, the one I want to work with,
actually I did it with the experimental one but I'm pretty sure I can use
the same steps for another one.
If you ask me, there should be an easy tutorial for everybody how to build
the SDK (with the common used developer tools IntelliJ and / or eclipse).
Sorry, but this isn't working for me. Any help is appreciated.
There's not, some manual steps are required for now and that's nothing to
do with any IDE.
I started the implementation of an app to automatized those steps, but
that's on my spare time and I do many things, so, it's far to be ready.

Thanks Frederic for the detailed description.
I tried your tutorial, but this doesn't work for me. It seems there is no
easy way to load the Flex SDK into IntelliJ as a full project (as described
in the video for IDEA 11.1 by Nicholas Kwiatkowski) or even import.
I think the video show a very good tutorial for IDEA 11.1, but it doesn't
work for me with version 12 and git.
Currently, I stuck in the point "Setup the SDK". :-(

What I would do, from memory and the with the experimental lib:
1- First of all clone the sdk as describe in the git wiki, the source root
will be <SourceSDK>
Setup the SDK (if you want to use the 4.9.1 as base, use the installer and
go directly to the point 6, <copiedSDK> will the path of the 4.9.1):
2- build the sdk, look at the readme at the source of the sdk tree, follow
the instructions, TLF included.
3- checkout a new branch, then build a release on.
4- make the IDE sdk running
sdk/ide/flashbuilder/makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh
5- Copy this new sdk where you want, personally, I copy it under the SDKs
of my FlashBuilder installation path, that will be the <copiedSDK>.
Setup the lib you want to modify:
6- Open IDEA, import the experimental project from the sources:
<SourceSDK>/frameworks/projects/experimental
7- it will ask you to choose or create a SDK, create a new one selecting
the one you copied/installed, give it a name (ex: 4.10.0 experimental)
8- open the project settings/SDKs/4.10.0 experimental and remove the
experimental lib from the classpath
9- under module/experimental/dependencies, choose '4.10.0 experimental' as
flex/air sdk
10- under module/experimental/, type experimental.swc as output filename
and as output folder, select <copiedSDK>/frameworks/libs and
desktop/library as sdk type.
You can now modify the code, build it and test it under flashbuilder or
idea creating a new Flex app project and selecting the <copiedSDK>
I hope that helps.

Hi list,
ok based on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5COE3hYqCJk tutorial I
tried to checkout the Git in IntelliJ. But I don't get it.
I created a new IntelliJ Project (Java Module) with the name "Apache
Flex". Then I clicked VCS -> Checkout from Version Control -> Git
In the new PopUp I used
URL: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-sdk.git
Path: /Users/marcus/Documents/IdeaProjects
Dir: Apache Flex
But I get the error: "The Path /Users/marcus/Documents/IdeaProjects/Apache
Flex exists. Git cannot clone to an existing directory."
Of course it exists, this is the empty project I already created. And I
want to use this for the Flex SDK.
Ok, how does it work with IntelliJ 12 and Git? Has anybody an up-to-date
tutorial. I would really like to help to fix some bugs in the SDK.
Thanks
Marcus Fritze
