It looks like the flash player version isn’t found. Any ideas?

Subject: RE: Apache Royale 0.9 setup
I finally succeeded in installing Royale with FlashBuilder.
(FlashBuilder 4.7 / Windows / Royale asjs bin 0.9).
1. As Alex already said, you must rename (or make a copy of)
"royale-sdk-description.xml" to "flex-description.xml" since FB looks for that
exact file name when declaring available SDKs. You must also check (and maybe
correct) that the opening and closing top-level tag is "<flex-sdk-description>"
and "</flex-sdk-description>" there is a mismatch in the file that ships in the
binary distribution).
I do not know if it is possible to have FB accept another "xxx-description.xml"
file where "xxx" could be "royale"...??? but I doubt it...
2. You must make the "release-name" property value in the "build.properties"
file match the name tag from flex-description.xml.
At this time, Royale 0.9 ships with "Apache Flex (FlexJS)" in the
"release-name" property of "build.properties" , and "Apache Flex (Royale)" in
the "<name>" tag of "flex-description.xml" (well, in fact, in
"royale-description.xml, but as said in (1) it should be renamed). You must
make those two "names" match exactly, and especially the part between
parenthesis since it is used when declaring the apache royale namespace !
For me, I have chosen to name _both_ "Apache Flex (Royale)".
3. The js: namespace should be the concatenation of "org.apache" and the "short
name" (between parenthesis) from the <release-name> tag.
For me, the namespace attribute is now
"xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/royale/basic"". Note that the name used for
the namespace is a lowercase version of the name between parenthesis.
I am not sure where the "ns.apache.org" comes from..; Maybe from the "jar
manifest entries" section of "build.properties" ? but I doubt it...
4. The first three steps above allow for compilation of project, but do *not*
provide auto-completion : you must still manually type all "import" directives.
To make auto-completion work, you must go to the "Flex build path" tab in
"Project > properties".
In the "library path" sub-tab, click on "add swc folder" (not "add swc" !) and
select the "frameworks/js/libs" folder from the install folder of the sdk.
Now, auto-completion should work as expected !
Of course, all this should not be necessary after the binaries distribution of
the sdk has been corrected..!
Regarding point (4), it seems that the various SWCs that are present in
"frameworks/js/FlexJS/libs" should be present in "frameworks/libs". But I'm not
sure...
When you link the project to Apache Royale framework (through "project"
"properties " "flex build path" panel), the SWCs that appear under the
framework reference are :
- playerglobal
- 11.7 (!!!)
Obviously there is something wrong in the directory structure of the binaries
distribution. There should not be a "11.7" entry, but instead the list of all
SWCs...
Or maybe this is due to the fact that it is a "asjs only" distribution, and
that explains why the "libs" folder is almost empty ???
