Updated 8/24/2010 - Flex Library projects have been moved to
/frameworks/projects, and compiler projects to /lib and /modules.

Using Flex SDK Eclipse Projects
===============================

The SDK svn repository also includes sample Eclipse projects to assist testing,
debugging and modifying the framework and compiler source. The SDK framework
swcs are represented Flex Library projects, and the various modules of the SDK
compiler are represented as Java projects.

Note that these projects require Flash Builder 4 / Eclipse 3.5 (or later). The
Java projects require JDK 1.5.0. If Eclipse is used, the framework projects
require Flash Builder 4 plugin.

Before importing any projects into a workspace, you must sync the SDK svn
repository and check that ant builds successfully. You must also define a few
workspace variables so that relative paths resolve to your sync of the SDK.

Note that the framework projects do not rely on the compiler module projects,
and the compiler module projects do not rely on the framework projects.
However, within each type of project, there may be dependencies (such as the
rpc project depends on the framework project and so both must be imported in
order to use the rpc project). The two types of projects are separated in svn
as follows:

/frameworks/projects for framework projects
/modules and /lib for compiler projects


Framework Flex Library projects
-------------------------------

To import the Flex Library projects, you need to create a Flex SDK named Flex 4
that should point to your the root of your sync of the SDK in svn. Go to the
Window menu and select Preferences..., navigate to Flex > Installed Flex SDKs,
then click Add... to add a new SDK.
e.g.

Flex 4
c:/dev/svn/flex/sdk/trunk


Compiler Java projects
----------------------

You must first import the /lib/.project before importing any of the projects
under /modules.

Also, if you are importing the optional antTasks module you must also create
a Java Classpath Variables named ANT17_JAR (that points to the ant.jar file
from your installation of ANT 1.7.0). Go to the Window menu and select
Preferences..., navigate to Java > Build Path > Classpath Variables, then
click the New... button to create a new Classpath Variable.
e.g.

c:/dev/ant1.7.0/lib/ant.jar
ANT17_JAR

§
Importing projects
------------------
Once you have setup your Eclipse workspace, any required variables and run ant
successfully to build the SDK, you can import the SDK projects.

Go to the File menu and select Import..., navigate to General > Existing
Projects into Workspace, and then click the Browse... button to navigate to
your sync of the relevant subdirectories of the SDK from svn. You may
include a subset of the projects if you are familiar with the dependencies
between them.
