Well, most of the committers are working from a git repo. You can work from a binary distribution, because you can then use IntelliJ or FB to write your code, but it is easier just to use the InstallApacheFlex installer to set up your binary distribution (unless you're on Linux, in which cas you would use Ant).
And if you are using an IDE like IntelliJ or FB, then the easiest path is to use monkey-patching. Create a test project, point the source-path to include the modified AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as and see if it works. -Alex From: Marcus Fritze <marcus.fri...@googlemail.com> Reply-To: "dev@flex.apache.org" <dev@flex.apache.org> Date: Thursday, March 13, 2014 12:33 PM To: "dev@flex.apache.org" <dev@flex.apache.org> Subject: Re: [REQUEST] A tutorial on how to fix bugs for the Flex SDK Am 13.03.2014 um 18:32 schrieb Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com>: So, what is the easies way for working on the SDK? I want to fix a bug. Well, I'm tempted to have you follow this: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Git+for+Apache+Flex+Guide because this sets up your environment like most of the other committers. Yes, thats clear. So I found in the README "Building the Framework in a Binary Distribution". So this is the best way, right? I only want to change / test something in AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as and would like to see if it fixes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-23252 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-13628 Thanks.
