Build the Feathers SDK from a Binary Distribution

The Feathers SDK requires certain third-party dependencies with licenses that require them to be distributed separately. Adding these third-party dependencies requires running one simple task on the command line.

Requirements

• A binary distribution of the Feathers SDK
• Apache Ant

Build Steps

1. Extract the Feathers SDK binary distribution into a directory.

2. In the Feathers SDK directory, run the following command:

    ant -f installer.xml
   

   If you want to target a specific version of Flash Player and AIR, you may modify the command to specify the required versions:

    ant -f installer.xml -Dflash.sdk.version=15.0 -Dair.sdk.version=15.0
   

3. When prompted to install each dependency, type y and press Enter.

That's it! The Feathers SDK may now be used with Flash Builder 4.7 and other supported IDEs.
