| This package contains interfaces related to <i>targets</i>. |
| |
| <p> |
| A project can create multiple <i>targets</i> to build multiple |
| SWF and/or SWC files. |
| Each target drives one or more (but not necessarily all) of the |
| project's compilation units through their compilation phases, |
| and assembles the resulting ABC or SWF tags into a SWF or SWC. |
| See the <code>org.apache.royale.compiler.units</code> package |
| for more information about compilation units. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Some configuration options become project settings, while others |
| become target settings. |
| For example, the source path and library path are project settings, |
| but whether a particular SWC is to be linked internally or externally |
| (that is, whether is "on the external library path") is a target setting. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The base interface for all targets is <code>ITarget</code>. |
| There are two different kinds of external targets, each with its own subinterface: |
