Building Apache Flex FlexUnit

Apache Flex FlexUnit requires some build tools which must be installed
prior to building FlexUnit and it depends on some external software which
are downloaded as part of the build process.  Some of these have different licenses.
See the Software Dependencies section for more information on the external software
dependencies.

Install Prerequisites

Before building FlexUnit 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 1.6 or greater (*1)                JAVA_HOME
    (for Java 1.7 see note at (*2))
    
Ant 1.7.1 or greater (*1)                   ANT_HOME
    (for Java 1.7 see note at (*2))

Apache Flex (*3)                            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.
     
     Also if you use Java SDK 1.7 you may encounter SSL errors when downloading
     3rd party files as part of the build process to fix this issue
     
     On Windows:
     
        create an environment variable called ANT_OPTS with the value
        -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
        
     On the Mac (bash):
     
         export ANT_OPTS="-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false"
     

*3) FLEX_HOME should be set to a valid Apache Flex installation.
