Re: playerglobal in maven repo?

2023-02-02 Thread Josh Tynjala 
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`.

 Okay, I rebuilt flex-sdk-converter-extension on my local machine (it's
 in the flex-utilities repo, for anyone interested). If I change the URL for
 sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml from http to https, it successfully downloads.

 So, for some reason, the 301 redirect is not being handled correctly.
 Presumably, something changed on the server. Perhaps it was still serving
 http in the past, and it was forced to https more recently.

 I found this explanation about redirects in Java:

 > After discussion among Java Networking engineers, it is felt that we
 shouldn't automatically follow redirect from one protocol to another, for
 instance, from http to https and vise versa, doing so may have serious
 security consequences. Thus the fix is to return the server responses for
 redirect. Check response code and Location header field value for redirect
 information. It's the application's responsibility to follow the redirect.

 Looks like flex-sdk-converter-extension needs to update this URL and
 get a new release, since the redirect from http to https won't work.

Re: playerglobal in maven repo?

2023-02-02 Thread Josh Tynjala 
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`. So you need to run
`mvn install -s settings-template.xml` instead of just `mvn install`.

 I tried changing to playerglobal 32.0, and it is still failing.
 Interestingly, I see these lower level exceptions in the log when I add the
 -X option to mvn:

 Caused by:
 org.apache.flex.utilities.converter.retrievers.exceptions.RetrieverException:
 Error parsing 'sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml'
 Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.

 So it's trying to download
 http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml (where
 it will find the URL to playerglobal.swc), and something is going wrong
 parsing that file.

 It seems to be valid XML, so maybe it's getting some kind of error
 document from the web server instead of the proper file.

 I'll keep digging...
