We are happy to announce that we have implemented a wrapper for Joa Eberts Apparat.
The following tasks are supported:
- bigsource.apparat.reducer: Apparat Reducer
- bigsource.apparat.tdsi: Apparat Turbo Diesel Sport Injection
- bigsource.apparat.coverage: Apparat Coverage
- bigsource.apparat.concrete: Apparat Concrete
- bigsource.apparat.stripper: Apparat Stripper
To start optimizing your swfs you have to download some things:
Apparat: http://code.google.com/p/apparat/
Scala: http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads
(Please check the Apparat website for infos about the needed version. Currently Scala RC3)
BigSource Zarkov: http://zarkov.bigsource.de
(Eclipse Updatesite: http://update.bigsource.de/beta)
After unpacking Apparat and Scala and installing the new version of Zarkov you can create the tasks.
Example
See content of build.properties in previous post.
<project name="Example 1" default="tdsi" basedir=".">
<property file="build.properties" />
<target name="tdsi">
<bigsource.apparat.tdsi basedir="${basedir}" apparatdirectory="PATH TO APPARAT DIRECTORY" scala="PATH TO SCALA EXECUTABLE">
<inputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
<outputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
<set7zpath path="PATH TO 7zip IF NOT IN $PATH" />
</bigsource.apparat.tdsi>
</target>
<target name="reducer">
<bigsource.apparat.reducer basedir="${basedir}" apparatdirectory="PATH TO APPARAT DIRECTORY" scala="PATH TO SCALA EXECUTABLE">
<inputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
<outputfile path="${swf.application.target }" />
<set7zpath path="PATH TO 7zip IF NOT IN $PATH" />
</bigsource.apparat.reducer>
</target>
</project>
As you can see, the new features are currently only available from the beta update. Your feedback would help to make BigSource Zarkov even better. Feel free to contact us.
Thanks to Joa for his great tool!!

After checking out the new abilities of the Air 2 beta 2 Runtime, I decided to port the BigSource Zarkov Plugin to an Air Standalone application. I had to adopt the Ant Runtime, to ensure that your current build files will also work in the Air version. Because Ant has many tasks, I just adopted the base tasks of Zarkov in the first release. In future releases more tasks like “exec”, “echo”, “zip”, “copy”, etc. will be added. Fcsh support for the exec tasks (mxmlc or compc as executable) will also be added in future releases.
The first beta Version is avalibale for download. Feel free to test it.
- Windows
- OS X
- Linux (Debian, Ubuntu)
BigSource Zarkov for Air
In order to run the application, you must have installed Adobe Air 2 beta 2 (Download). If you find bugs or have a feature request, please send an email to alexander.funke@bigsource.de. The application is currently released as Jobware. No warranty for malfunctions. I am happy about every feedback.

Yesterday we presented our compiler wrapper PlugIn for Eclipse at the Flex User Group Hamburg in the rooms of pilot 1/0. We got a really good feedback for our product. So this was a great way to get whishes and to fill our FAQ. In the next time we will add some new stuff to our documentation and we are currently working on a rewritten version of Bigsource Zarkov with a lot more support creating compiler taks. Thanks to all who came , to the organisation team of the FlexUGHH and to pilot 1/0 for allocating their rooms. It was a great evening. The presentation and the sample project will come soon.

We have released a new version of the Zarkov Compiler Wrapper for Eclipse. It includes some Bugfixes and improvements. Take a look at http://zarkov.bigsource.de

Today we released the new version of the Zarkov Eclipse Plugin. There are many improvements we have done. Here are the major ones:
- Review of all compiler options.
- Some options have changed attributes.
- Added all options listed by “compiler help list advanced” to mxmlc, compc, asdoc, amxmlc, acompc and aasdoc.
- Warnings and Errors are now added to the Problems view of Eclipse.
- a new task “bigsource.browser” added. You can now open your browser from within eclipse.
- some general improvements in stability
- documentaiton will be improved in the next days (mxmlc is already updated)
You can get the new version over the Eclipse Update feature. If you would like to get the latest beta version you can get it here: http://update.bigsource.de/beta.
For more information about BigSource Zarkov visit the project page at http://zarkov.bigsource.de.
We are happy about every feedback.

We have rebuild the BigSource Zarkov Project Page and added a documentation for the supported compilers.
Have a look: http://zarkov.bigsource.de

We are happy to announce that we have made a standalone version of the plugin. Now you can exchange you build.xml with developers not using eclipse. There is an example implementation and the download link on the Zarkov Project Page. Enjoy it.
Alexander Funke @ Aug 04 2008 3:14 pm
Today we released the updated version of Eclipse Plugin “BigSource Zarkov” 0.8.0.9. Now it supports ADL (Air Debug Launcher) and ADT (Air Developer Tool). A second improvement is the simpler Path setup. You just have to specify the Flex SDK Path and all compilers will be called directly. Existing FCSH-Paths will be changed automatically. So if you have improvements or bugs please feel free to add an issue to http://bugtracking.bigsource.de/trac/bigsource_zarkov/.
