In order to resolve this issue, I'm starting the release process for flex-sdk-converter-maven-extension 1.1.0. As release manager, I just submitted RC 1 to the Flex PMC. If you are a member of the Flex PMC, please go try it out, and add your +1 vote, if things look okay.
To build the flex-sdk-converter-maven-extension source release, extract the .zip file and run `mvn clean install` in the root directory with pom.xml. OPTIONAL: After installing RC1 locally, you can also test that it works with royale-compiler. Here's what you need to do: (Prerequisite: Make sure that you have the FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER env var pointing to a Flash Player projector executable. If you don't have this executable already, the royale-compiler README explains how you can still download it from Adobe.) 1. In royale-compiler, go into .mvn/extensions.xml and replace the version number with 1.1.0 2. Go into ~/.m2/repository/com/adobe/flash/ and move the "framework" directory somewhere else temporarily. This lets you put it back later, if something goes wrong. 3. In royale-compiler, run `mvn clean install -P option-with-swf`. -- Josh Tynjala Bowler Hat LLC <https://bowlerhat.dev> On Thu, Feb 2, 2023 at 1:01 PM Josh Tynjala <joshtynj...@bowlerhat.dev> wrote: > Just replying with the error message you get if you forget `-s > settings-template.xml` so that it will show up in search. > > [ERROR] Extension > org.apache.flex.utilities.converter:flex-sdk-converter-maven-extension:1.1.0-SNAPSHOT > or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact > org.apache.flex.utilities.converter:flex-sdk-converter-maven-extension:jar:1.1.0-SNAPSHOT > > It means that you're missing `-s settings-template.xml`.
