Here’s a quick tip to generate swc file using ant task with the Java tags.
There are plenty of example of using the compc tag like this one below:
<project name="ASDoc build" default="main" >
<!-- make sure that flexTasks.jar which is located in skd/ant/lib/flexTasks.jar otherwise you'll get an error message -->
<taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks" classpath="Jars/flexTasks.jar" />
<!-- defines all values for the ASDoc compiler -->
<property file="build.properties" />
<target name="main" depends="clean-swc-directory, swc-generator" />
<!-- deletes and recreates the swc directory -->
<target name="clean-swc-directory" >
<delete dir="${workspace.dir}/build/swc" />
<mkdir dir="${workspace.dir}/build/swc" />
</target>
<!-- generate the swc -->
<target name="swc-generator" description="Compile the SWC file">
<compc output="${workspace.dir}/name.swc">
<include-libraries file="${workspace.dir}/libs" />
<include-sources dir="${workspace.dir}/src/com" includes="*" />
</compc>
<echo>SWC created successfully</echo>
</target>
</project>
Sometimes you want to generate the entire script using the Java tags. Here’s an example:
<java jar="${FLEX_HOME}/lib/compc.jar" maxmemory="512m" dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" fork="true" failonerror="true">
<arg line="-source-path ${main.src.loc}"/>
<arg line="-output '${bin.loc}/Name.swc'"/>
<arg line="-include-libraries '${main.src.loc}/libs'"/>
<arg line="-include-sources '${main.src.loc}'"/>
</java>
Took me few hours to figure this out since there aren’t any examples online.
