[FLEX-35287] MXMLC Ant Tasks do not support new "broker-local-connection" compiler flag

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Apache Flex 4.16.0
• Component/s: Ant Tasks
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

"broker-local-connection" was added to the MXML compiler in v4.16.0, and can be used when calling mxmlc directly... ex:

C:\tools\flex-sdk\apache_flex_4.16.0_air23_flash23\bin>mxmlc -help list

Apache Flex Compiler (mxmlc)
Version 4.16.0 build 20170305
Copyright 2017 The Apache Software Foundation.


-benchmark
-broker-local-connection
-broker-product-manager
-compiler.accessible
...

Unfortunately, it appears it was not added to the Ant MXMLC Tasks. Note the missing ConfigBooleans for "broker-local-connection" and "broker-product-manager" in \ant\src\flex\ant\MxmlcTask.java:

/**
     *
     */
    public MxmlcTask()
    {
        super("mxmlc", "flex2.tools.Mxmlc", "mxmlc.jar", new ConfigVariable[] {
            //Basic Booleans
            new ConfigBoolean(new OptionSpec("benchmark")),
            new ConfigBoolean(new OptionSpec("compiler", "accessible")),
            ...

--------------------------------------------------
To reproduce, create an ant build file with the following syntax:

<mxmlc file="..." output="...">
    ...
    <broker-local-connection>true</broker-local-connection>
    ...
</mxmlc>

And note the following error:
