I just added some minor improvements to the ApproveBuildTools.xml script.
In particular, you no longer need to specify the ANT_HOME environment
variable, and the Rat JAR files will be downloaded to ${basedir} instead of
${env.ANT_HOME}. This should make it easier to run the script without first
figuring out where Ant is installed on your system. It also ensures that
the directory where the Rat JARs are automatically downloaded is writable
without requiring sudo or manually changing permissions.Most of the PMC has probably already installed the Rat JARs, so chances are that you may not need these changes. However, I recently moved to a new system, so I was starting fresh. It'll be helpful if we vote in new members to the PMC in the future too. If you happen to run into these issues, you can grab the newer ApproveBuildTools.xml script here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/royale-compiler/refs/heads/develop/compiler-build-tools/ApproveBuildTools.xml -- Josh Tynjala Bowler Hat LLC https://bowlerhat.dev/ On Tue, Apr 7, 2026 at 2:22 AM Yishay Weiss <[email protected]> wrote: > This is the discussion thread. > > Thanks, > Yishay Weiss > >
