Are you making the source available for your dump.jar? :) Have checked around on the site and not seeing the contents– just a much larger download.

Yes, command line.

This will output ABC data:
java -jar dump.jar -input yourswf.swf -abc

This will generate a UML diagram:
java -jar dump.jar -input yourswf.swf -uml

Do we run this from the command line? I’m running this on Windows XP with JRE 1.6 0_15, it seems to run without error, but I have no idea if/where it’s creating an output file?

That is only the case when you install FlexBuilder standalone version.

On Windows XP, I needed to update the jre under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 to the 1.6 version.
Sun keeps my default Java installation up to date, so what I did was copy the jre over from C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12.

fyi, I got this working.

When you install Java 1.6 for mac (from Apple), it does not link to the new version, but instead keep the link to Java 1.5.

You can to explicitly update this link if you want to use java 1.6. You can find instructions here:

http://blogs.sun.com/cmar/entry/java_1_6_finally_available

If you dont want to change the default for the system, then you should be able to link directly to the java 1.6 binary :

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java

This fixed the Bad Version Number error for me.

Hope that helps…

Im also running into issues with the Bad Version Number. In debugging it, I noticed that the 1.6.0 Java install on my Mac:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/

doesnt include a bin directory, and thus no executable. Anyways, I am trying to figure out what the issue is, but wanted to post it here in case it was useful to anyone else.

I am on a Mac and I am running Ant via Eclipse.

Well I’m glad that it’s just not me having problems :) Thanks for the ideas. I’m gonna research your comments and give it a stab.

Alan, are you running Ant from command line or from within Eclipse? Some of my colleagues had a lot of trouble switching the Java VM for Eclipse on a Mac. Are you using a Mac? If you can not manage to do so (I know it was a pain!) you have another option. You can set fork to true specify the jvm attribute of the java task which points to the location of your 1.6 JVM.
The location is probably “/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/bin/java”.

Do you mind a little nudge in the right direction…

Admittedly, I barely know what the f* I’m doing. :) Just stabbing in the dark more or less.

I’m trying to execute this via Ant:

—–
Also, when I check my java version via the console I get:
java version “1.6.0_13″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)

but my ant diagnostics tells me:
java.vm.version : 1.5.0_19-137

Is this a problem?
