Thanks, Josh, for improving the Approve script. It has occurred to me that there might be PMC members who have never run this script and are not sure how to vote on the release. As a reminder, these are the 3 steps that are, at minimum, required from PMC members.
1) create an empty folder, 2) download into that folder this file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/royale/compiler-build-tools/1.2.2/rc1/ApproveBuildTools.xml 3) run the script: ant -e -f ApproveBuildTools.xml -Drelease.version=1.2.2 -Drc=1 If anybody runs into trouble and needs guidance, I will be more than happy to help.

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.
