Build SDK: JS + SWF

[Maria Jose Esteve]

Hi, I need to compile the SDK for JS and for SWL, I am building the asjs with 
these two instructions:

1º) maven
mvn clean install -P option-with-swf,option-with-sass-compile -DskipTests 
-Drat.skip=true

2º) ant
ant all -Dbuild.noprompt=true -Drelease.target=true -Dskip-tests=true

My doubts arise when I start working with the royale-spetrum project in vsCode 
[1], I suspect that maybe I am not doing it right because I am:


  *   IDE displays "Only JS"



[cid:image001.png@01D803DF.809FB450]


  *   And, on the contrary, the IDE shows me the COMPILE::JS code blocks as 
deactivated.

[Disabled configuration condition 
block(as3mxml-disabled-config-condition-block)]

[cid:image002.png@01D803E1.F2A4EF50]

I'm having a hard time understanding it, can anyone comment on this?

[1] en asconfig.json:
"targets": [
"JSRoyale"
],

Thx

Thanks for this info. I will ask questions whenever the need arises.

 I don’t know why that check was necessary in the original build, but it
 seems it isn’t for the spectrum one. Roman, you can just remove this line
 [1] from build.xml and I think it should work.

 It’s checking for compiler-mxmlc.jar in the lib directory in
 ROYALE_HOME. Are you missing that for some reason?

 I’m not sure why it’s checking for that instead of compc.jar which is
 what it should actually be using.

 It was copied from the build.xml files used in the framework compile.

 Maybe Alex or Josh (or Greg?) can comment on that.

No. Sorry. I’m not very good about writing docs. :-(

(If you’re inclined I’d love to get PRs to fix that up…)

Here’s the basics:

1. Most of Spectrum does not use model and view. The exception is components 
which take dataProviders. (The view is pretty much handled by Adobe’s CSS.)
2. The source of SpectrumBrowser should give you a pretty good idea of what 
properties the components have.
3. I was pretty good about using [Inspectable] metadata, so your IDE (i.e. VS 
Code) should give you hints in MXML about what legal values for properties are.
4. Spectrum favors baking functionality in over beads.
5. Icons are specified using strings which applies named SVG symbols using 
“use” elements.

Feel free to ask me questions...
