Hi,

I've made a RC 2 release build, it compiles and passes the checkin =
tests.=20

It can be found here:
=
http://people.apache.org/~jmclean/Apache%20Flex%204.9.0%20Release%20Candid=
ate%202/

However I've run into a couple of issues.

1. ant creates FB config files in (/ide/flashbuilder), I assume this is =
a FB 4.7 feature. Currently I can only run FB 4.6 as my 4.7 trial has =
expired and Adobe not sent me my new serial number yet.

This can be fixed by editing the flex-config.xml in the framework =
directory and replacing {playergolobalHome} to be libs/player.

Should this be fixed or should the build script assume users are using =
FB 4.7?

2. When compiling form FB 4.6 batik causes a RTE

Now I assume this is a Java version mismatch, I'm compiling with Java =
version 1.7.0_10 and eclipse/FB seems to be configured to use 1.7.0_10 =
but something is obviously not quite right.=20

As this may be a local configuration issue can someone download the =
source package in the RC 2 link above, compile it and try it out with a =
simple project.

Thanks,
Justin
