Oleg Sivokon commented on FLEX-38:
----------------------------------
1. How would symlinks be handled on Windows? (I'm not even sure Windows users
need that part of the SDK at all - it seem to be the ADL + supporting libraries
for launching it on *nix).
2. Doing it the way it was done is a bad idea too, because the permissions
given to the user of the terminal / shell running the build may differ from
those given to the sh shell called in this way (it actually was for me), so
that Ant can't later delete the files extracted in this way.
> Build script requires sh on Windows

> There is a call to sh with automatically generated shell script that was used
> to untar the AIR archive. On Windows it wouldn't work and on Linux it would
> unpack with the permissions given to the user of the terminal, rather then
> the permissions given to Ant user (files created would be protected for Ant
> script later).
