RE: Flex SDK Installer - is it broken?

[Keegan Sands]

Doug,

I ran into a failure last week when installing Flex SDK version 4.13.0 on macOS 
High Sierra.  In my case it failed when attempting to validate the download of 
the playerglobal.swc file.  As a result I had a half baked Flex SDK directory, 
which was missing player global and a couple other jars in the libs directory.

Luckily I had the same version of the SDK downloaded on another machine and was 
able to use that instead.

Subject: Flex SDK Installer - is it broken?

Hi All,

I've tried using the Flex SDK installer app on both Windows and Mac.

I've tried it 150-200 times. In about 97% of my attempts the app has failed 
after the first screen with a timeout error.

In the four cases where I got past that point it failed later in the process. 
I've pasted the logs from these attempts below.

Is this app working for any of you?

Any ideas on what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,

Douglas

FlexMojos Repository Connectivity Issue

[Keegan Sands]

Hi,



I am using FlexMojos 7.0.1 to compile my Apache Flex project that uses
Apache Flex version 4.13.0.  Everything has been working fine for the last
year and a half, but now I am running into a connection issue when building
as it tries to download some Flex artifacts from the Sonatype repository



This call hangs for quite a while, before eventually failing.  I am able to
work around it by making the build run offline.

Downloading:
http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/flexgroup/org/apache/flex/compiler/4.12.1.20140427/compiler-4.12.1.20140427.pom



I remember seeing something in the FlexMojos project’s revision history
mentioning some changes in FlexMojos 7.1.0 that might have fixed something,
but now I can’t seem to find the FlexMojos source repository.  Did anything
change recently that might cause this to happen?



Thanks in advance for your help.
