I have a github account.

I have used git submodule for web projects involving PHP.

I find this easy to bring in other github repo and update the code easily, making my web projects easier to maintain.

I feel like doing the same for RL.

Should I include RL as a git submodule in my brand new Flex project?

if so, how? I have never done git submodule in a Flex project before.

Please advise.

   There's no real difference between adding a git submodule to a RL or Flex project than to a PHP one. Only thing you have to do is add the RL src directory as a source directory to the Flex project, through Project Properties>Actionscript Build Path>Source Path>Add folder
   And I'm not sure whether this is still necessary but previously you needed to add this to your compiler options
   -keep-as3-metadata+=Inject -keep-as3-metadata+=PostConstruct in Project Proeprties>Actionscript Compiler>Additional compiler arguments

   Hi creynders,

   I do not quite understand your explanation.

   Here is an example. https://github.com/simkimsia/DragDropDemo-in-AIR

   I have the swc for v1.5.2 RL inside the libs folder.

   I used the examples in the book for the MosaicApp as reference and wrote code in the src folder.

   How do I add this https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework as a submodule?

   • remove the .swc from libs
   • git submodule add https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework.git vendor/robotlegs will install the RL source in a directory vendor/robotlegs
   • cd vendor/robotlegs
   • git checkout master

   And then add vendor/robotlegs/src as a source directory to your project as I described in the previous post

   I have only made local commits based on your recommendations.

   Have not pushed these changes to the remote github repo.

   I am getting errors about the base class Reflector.

   See the screenshot here. http://cl.ly/FtOk

   Ah, yes, you'll have to add swiftsuspenders as gitmodule too.
   https://github.com/tschneidereit/SwiftSuspenders

   Just follow the same steps as with the RL repo, but use branch the-past instead of master

   Hi creynders,

   it worked! Thank you!!

   So basically the code that I have in my own src... I can organize it however I want, right?

   I can even rename them to org.whatevertheheckiwant.controller.bootstrap.BootstrapClasses.as

   etc.

   Yes?
