Not able to compile ActionScript from Java SDK
- by Heang S.
I was reading the Flex Compiler API User Guide at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/compilerAPI_flex3.pdf and tried to follow the example to create a Java application to compile a Flex application.
Here is my program:
import flex2.tools.oem.Application;
import java.io.*;
public class MyAppCompiler {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Application application = new Application(
new File("../apps/TestApp.mxml"));
application.setOutput(new File("../apps/TestApp.swf"));
long result = application.build(true);
if (result 0)
System.out.println("Compile Success");
else
System.out.println("Compile Failed");
}
catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Unfortunately, I get "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError" on the very first line.
Internally, the error appears to be on the following line:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at myApps.MyAppCompiler.main(MyAppCompiler.java:9)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at flex2.tools.oem.Application. (Application.java:184)
I am using Eclipse 3.3. However, I see the problem when I run my program either from Eclipse or from a command line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
