BigSource Zarkov now supports Joa Eberts Apparat

Alexander Funke @ Jun 03 2010 6:22 pm

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!!

Zarkov Speech at Flex User Group Hamburg

Alexander Funke @ Apr 07 2009 2:44 pm

Speech at FlexUGHHYesterday 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.
