When I try to build a project that uses Flex and where the Flex SDK is on one drive and the project files on another I get the following error in ant:
[mxmlc] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: flex2/tools/Compiler
[mxmlc] Exception in thread "main"
It seems to be a problem with the Flex mxmlc ant task. Anyone know the root cause of this? It works if I move the Flex SDK over to the project folder but I don’t like being hackish like that…
Ant in verbose mode gives:
compile.main:
dropping E:\c from path as it doesn't exist
dropping E:\programs\flex-sdk\lib\mxmlc.jar from path as it doesn't exist
[mxmlc] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: flex2/tools/Compiler
[mxmlc] Exception in thread "main"

I determined that this is actually a bug in the flex ant task. FlexTask.java is not doing proper pathing to work across multiple drives on a windows machine.
