Because if I don’t put it here I’ll forget it
Eric Feminella created Cairngen as a code generation tool for Adobe Cairngorm. he developed it to do away with the redundant copy/paste work needed to create Flex applicatoins with Cairngorm and is released under the MIT license.
Cairngen 1.0 is built entirely in Ant and provides a solution for one-shot code generation of Adobe Cairngorm 2.2 classes.
I haven’t had a chance to play with Caringen 1.0, but can’t wait (I love ANT!).
Thanks Eric!
Recently I pulled down Mike Chambers FlashCommand. FlashCommand is a command line compiler for the Flash IDE.
I wanted to set up an ANT build script to execute builds from Eclipse without having to alt-tab between programs (yes, I'm that lazy!).
Setting up the ANT script wasn't too difficult, even for someone who knew the absolute minimum about ANT.
Adobe release two Flex utilities on labs today.
Bonus points for Adobe!
If you're using ANT inside Flex Builder 2 to compile your Flex 2/AS3 application you've probably noticed that invoking mxmlc from inside ANT is not as fast as running the integrated compiler.
