ANT Script to bootstrap an air project for BlackBerry PlayBook

===== USAGE

This readme assumes, that your project is named MyApp.

Step 1

• Create a new directory,::

  mkdir MyApp

Step 2

• clone this project via git://github.com/magicmonty/playbook-template.git::

  cd MyApp git clone git://github.com/magicmonty/playbook-template.git .

Step 3

• configure the default.properties to your needs
  • set Variables
  • remove app.unconfigured if finished

Step 4

• run ant

Then a new project is created in the current folder. The bootstrap data is deleted and replaced with the template files. Then this project is checked into a new GIT repository

====================================== Usage of the ANT script in the project

• Target clean

  • Deletes all intermediate directories and files

• Target package

  • builds the project with "build-release" and packages the project in release mode to a .bar-File in the directory "deploy"

• Target package-debug

  • builds the project with "build-debug" and packages the project in debug mode to a .bar-File in the directory "deploy"

• Target build-debug

  • builds the swf-file in debug mode

• Target build-release

  • builds the swf-file in release mode

• Target deploy

  • deploys a previously packaged .bar file to the simulator

• Target uninstall

  • uninstalls the application from the simulator.

  Note: The .bar file must already exist, because the airpackager needs it to extract the application id

• Target run

  • runs a previously installed app on the simulator

  Note: The .bar file must already exist, because the scripts needs it to extract the application id

• Target debug

  • builds the project with "build-debug", packages the project in debug mode to a .bar-File in the directory "deploy", installs it on the simulator and runs it from there.

  Note: you should have the fdb-Tool running already
