=================
Apache Flex 'Falcon' Compiler 0.8.0 is the sixth release of a next-generation
compiler intended to someday replace the MXMLC in Apache Flex SDKs, and is the

Known Issues
_____________

Adobe Flash Builder Integration

The Apache Flex Falcon compiler should work in Adobe Flash Builder 4.7, but does
not support incremental compilation and may compile the project even if nothing
has changed.


Unit Test results in compiler.tests 

The jar.tests report "Java Result: 1" which is expected as all these tests do is verify that the jar is executable and has a "main" entry point which in this case reports the compiler usage help and returns 1.

Compilation Warnings

The Java compiler will report warnings for several files in this release.

Files in compiler/src/assembly/scripts

The files in compiler/src/assembly/scripts are templates used to create a 'final' SDK.  You cannot run the files in compiler/src/assembly/scripts.  Instead, the installer.xml script or Apache Flex SDK Installer will create a bin folder with working scripts.

Compiling with the Flex SDK

This compiler has only been tested against the FlexJS SDK which does not exercise all
of the features of the Flex SDK, so results of compiling against the Flex SDK are
not guaranteed.
