Apache Flex Code Coverage Tool - Java Server
==============================================

    This code coverage tool is designed to be used at the command line
    to provide code coverage for nightly builds.

Getting the latest sources via Git
==================================

    Getting the source code is the recommended way to get the Apache Flex Code Coverage Tool.

    You can always checkout the latest source from Apache's source control repository
    using the following commands:

     git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-utilities.git flex-utilities
     cd flex-utilities
     git checkout develop
     cd CodeCoverage/JavaServer

Building Apache Flex Code Coverage Tool
=======================================

    The Apache Flex Code Coverage Tool requires some build tools 
    which must be installed prior to building it.  
    Some of these have different licenses.  See the Software Dependencies section 
    for more information on the external software dependencies.

Install Prerequisites
---------------------

    Before building this tool you must install the following software 
    and set the corresponding environment variables using absolute file paths.  
    Relative file paths will result in build errors.

    ==================================================================================
    SOFTWARE                                    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE (absolute paths)
    ==================================================================================

    Java SDK 1.7 or greater (*1)(*2)            JAVA_HOME

    Ant 1.7.1 or greater (*1)                   ANT_HOME
        (for Java 1.7 see note at (*2))

    Apache Flex 'Falcon' Compiler (*2)          FALCON_HOME

    Apache Flex SDK or repository               FLEX_HOME

    ==================================================================================

    *1) The bin directories for ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME should be added to your
        PATH.

        On Windows, set PATH to

            PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

        On the Mac (bash), set PATH to

            export PATH="$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin"

         On Linux make sure you path include ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME.

    *2)  If you are using Java SDK 1.7 or greater on a Mac you must use Ant 1.8
         or greater. If you use Java 1.7 with Ant 1.7, ant reports the java
         version as 1.6 so the JVM args for the data model (-d32/-d64) will not
         be set correctly and you will get compile errors.

    *3) Set FALCON_HOME to the root of its SDK.  When using the flex-falcon
        repository, set 
             FALCON_HOME=<repo-path>/compiler/generated/dist/sdk

Software Dependencies
---------------------

    The Apache Flex Code Coverage Tool requires compiler.jar from the 
    Apache Flex Falcon Compiler. The external dependences for compiler.jar are 
    (relative to compiler.jar):

    * external/antlr.jar
    * external/commons-cli.jar
    * external/commons-io.jar
    * external/flex-tool-api.jar
    * external/guava.jar
    * external/jburg.jar
    * external/lzma-sdk.jar

    The external jar have various licenses.

    When the Code Coverage Tool is built the Falcon jars are copied from 
    FALCON_HOME to the Code Coverage Tool's lib directory. This step makes the tool ready to run.


Building the Source in the Source Distribution
----------------------------------------------

    When you have all the prerequisites in place and the environment variables set, 
    (see Install Prerequisites above), to build the Apache Flex Code Coverage
    Tool use:

        cd CodeCoverage/JavaServer
        ant
 
    To clean the build use:
    
        ant clean 

Building the Source in the Eclispe and Flash Builder
----------------------------------------------------

    The Java source comes with an Eclipse project in the JavaServer/java 
    directory. Before importing the Eclipse project first define a Java 
    Classpath variable. Under Eclipse Preferences,

        * Go to Java - Build Path - Classpath Varables. 
        * Click on "New...".
        * Enter "FALCON_HOME" in "Name" field.
        * Enter the directory containing "lib/compiler.jar" in the "Path" field.       
 
    The Flex code comes with a Flash Builder project in the JavaServer/flex 
    directory. This project can be imported without any additional setup.

Thanks for using Apache Flex.  Enjoy!
