1. Install Java from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
2. Install Maven 3.3.1 or greater from: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi (I used 3.3.9)
   1. Download the archive
   2. Unpack the archive
   3. Set your systems PATH to the bin directory (I usually define a MAVEN_HOME to the unpacked directory and then add $MAVEN_HOME/bin to the PATH)
3. Download the "Flash Player projector content debugger" for your system from: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html (The Browser plugin or ActiveX component will not work)
   1. Set an environment variable called FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER and set it to the path of the Flash Debug Player executable (On windows and Linux machined this is trivial as you simply provide the full path (including the executable name), on Mac's this will look something like this: {Place the Player is installed to}/Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player Debugger)

      1. Example for Windows: 

         Code Block
         FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash\flashplayer_22_sa_debug.exe

      2. Example for Linux:

         Code Block
         FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER=/opt/adobe/flash/flashplayer_11_sa_debug.i386/flashplayerdebugger

      3. Example for Mac:

         Code Block
         FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER=/Applications/Adobe/Flash/22.0/Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player Debugger

4. Build Compiler (flex-falcon)
   

   1. Clone:

      Code Block
      language bash
      git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-falcon.git flex-falcon

   2. Go into the new directory:

      Code Block
      language bash
      cd flex-falcon git checkout develop

   3. Build the utils: (This is optional as the build can also fetch the artifacts from Apache Snapshot Maven Repo)

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml -P utils clean install

      Build the compiler:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml clean install

      This will execute all unit-tests and integration-tests. You can however run the build without any tests:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml -DskipTests -P utils clean install

      And if you just want to run the unit-tests and skip the integration-tests:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml -DskipITs -P utils clean install

5. Build Typedefs (flex-typedefs)
   

   1. Clone:

      Code Block
      language bash
      git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-typedefs.git flex-typedefs

   2. Go into the new directory:

      Code Block
      language bash
      cd flex-typedefs git checkout develop

   3. Build the typedefs:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml clean install

6. Build the Framework (flex-asjs)
   

   1. Clone:

      Code Block
      language bash
      git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-asjs.git flex-asjs

   2. Go into the new directory:

      Code Block
      language bash
      cd flex-asjs git checkout develop

   3. Build the framework libs:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml clean install

      optionally you can also build the distribution binaries:

      Code Block
      language bash
      mvn -s settings-template.xml -P build-distribution clean install

      optionally you can also build the distribution binaries and a local distribution (including dependencies for Flash, AIR) in a local directory:

      Code Block
      language bash
      set distributionTargetFolder={some directory path} mvn -s settings-template.xml -DdistributionTargetFolder={pathToDistributionDirectory} -P build-distribution clean install
