The point of analyzing css is one I hadn’t thought of. I’m a bit unclear on how the compiler deals with Framework CSS files. How does the compiler know which CSS files it needs to examine?
Most compiler methods use royalelib which points to a folder with all the Royale swcs. Does it make a difference whether a specific swc is actually used? Unless you are using Maven, the full set of framework libs will always be downloaded. If Maven caches a particular sac, would that be in the royale lib path as well? What is the performance hit on analyzing a swc css file? If we’re talking a few ms or less, I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.
