Package org.apache.flex.compiler.targets

This package contains interfaces related to targets.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
IJSTarget	The IJSTarget interface allows the compiler an abstraction to how the actual JavaScript is built.
ISWCTarget	A target which can build a SWC.
ISWFTarget	An ITarget than can build a SWF.
ITarget	An ITarget is a promise to build a particular output from the CompilationUnits in an IProject.
ITargetProgressMonitor	Interface that clients of Falcon can implement to receive progress information as an ITarget compiles.
ITargetReport	This interface provides information about the ITarget
ITargetSettings	The settings used to compile a target.

Class Summary

Class	Description
TargetSettingsProxy	When implementing a ITargetSettings, this utility abstract class can be extended, rather than having to implement all ITargetSettings methods.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
ITarget.TargetType	Type constants for each target compiler supports

Package org.apache.flex.compiler.targets Description

This package contains interfaces related to targets.

A project can create multiple targets 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 org.apache.flex.compiler.units package for more information about compilation units.

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.

The base interface for all targets is ITarget. There are two different kinds of external targets, each with its own subinterface:

ISWFTarget	Builds a SWF file from a set of compilation units.
ISWCTarget	Builds a SWC file from a set of compilation units.
