How to import the apprise source to flex builder

[Gowri Sankar]

Hi,
I downloaded the source of the apprise from the google code project.
Now i want to see how the code runs and am looking for modifying the
code. When i import the source to flex builder, it says " Not a valid
archived project. If the zip was not created via Export Flex Project,
use Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace.". I even
tryed that. But still i could not import the project to flex builder.
Is there any other way to import the project, Please help me in doing
so!!!!
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Gowri,

I'm not sure why "Import -> General -> Existing Projects into
Workspace" didn't work, but you'll want the latest code from the SVN
repository, as that zip file is out of date.
You can follow the instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/apprise/source/checkout
You'll also need some libraries. They're listed in the links section
on the project homepage, and you should include them in the source
path of your Flex Builder project: http://code.google.com/p/apprise/
A few others have gone through the process of getting ShareFire to
compile in Flex Builder. These threads should help you get started:

Hi Dan,

          Thanks for ur reply first..

          i got the apprise source inside flex builder by file->new project and giving Apprise as the project name. So the project is bulilded with the source i downloaded. But when i debug the project(F11). I get a launch error as follows.

Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.

Command:

E:\Programfiles\FlexBuilder3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\adl.exe E:\gowri\apprise_source_1-0\bin-debug\Apprise-app.xml E:\gowri\apprise_source_1-0\bin-debug 

Output from command:

invalid application descriptor: descriptor version does not match runtime version

Thanks and Regards

Hi Dan,
I got the source inside Flex IDE, I have uploaded a image named
Apprise.jpg. That shows my project folder structure. While running the
project i am getting the following errors.

I can't see the file Apprise.jpg on these groups, but those aren't
actually bugs, just missing libraries. You'll need these libraries in
your project's source path:
* as3corelib
* as3localelib
* as3nativealertlib
* as3syndicationlib
* as3preferenceslib
* wimas3
* as3notificationlib
To add a source path: right click the project; go to properties; go to
Flex Build Path; click Source Path; click Add Folder; navigate to
as3corelib/src; click OK; repeat for all the libs.
There are other configuration steps that are necessary, and you should
be able to find the answers in these threads:

Hi Dan,
I have downloaded and linked all the supporting file to the source
page of the project. Here is the scree shot of the project's
explorer.

I also linked the src folder of wiams3[asdoc-r1298/asdoc-output/]

Still i get 10 errors, here are those errors

Ah, in addition to wimas3/wimas3/src, you also have to add wimas3/
common/src and wimas3/openauth/src to the project's source path.
I just came across this blog post which gives some advice on compiling
ShareFire, though I still recommend getting the code from SVN and not
the zip. The code is much newer.
