Compiling applications

Axdt integrates the open source Flex4 SDK with the Eclipse launch API. The Axdt launcher compiles Swf files and usually opens them thereafter.

• Compiler options
  • Use: the compiler to use. by default there is only one available but more compilers can be contributed with eclipse extensions.
  • Compatibility mode: the Flex 4 compiler supports Flex 3 compatibility
  • Incremental cache: the caching strategy used for incremental compilation

  • Search config folders for ${target_name}-config.xml
  • Search the library folders for Swc files
