moonshinewebsite's Introduction

Synopsis

Moonshine IDE is a free IDE built with Adobe AIR. You can create ActionScript 3, Apache Flex®, Apache Royale® and Feathers projects from Moonshine-IDE. It also provides cloud support.

Motivation

We want to provide a free IDE to our community for ActionScript projects. An IDE which is cross platform and provides Apache Flex®, Apache Royale®, Feathers and cloud support.

Local Build

1. Install Apache Ant

To build Moonshine IDE you need to install Apache Ant. You can also install Apache Ant using npm, chocolatey, etc.

2. Download SDKs

To build Moonshine IDE you need to download:

If you've used Moonshine IDE before and already downloaded these SDKs with Moonshine SDK Installer you can use existing SDKs. By default they're installed in:

  • C:\MoonshineSDKs\Flex_SDK\Flex_xxx_AIR_xxx on Windows
  • /Users/$username/Downloads/MoonshineSDKs on Mac

3. Clone Moonshine SDK Installer

To build Moonshine IDE you also need Moonshine SDK Installer source code. You can clone Moonshine SDK Installer from: https://github.com/prominic/Moonshine-SDK-Installer.git.

You should place SDK Installer repository on the same level as Moonshine IDE. So if you have Moonshine IDE in C:\Repos\Moonshine-IDE you should have SDK Installer in C:\Repos\Moonshine-SDK-Installer.

4. Additional Required Projects

These projects are also required:

5. Change configuration files for local build

In Moonshine-IDE\ide\MoonshineDESKTOPevolved\build\ApplicationProperties.xml change:

  • Build version to something newer than already installed eg.

     <buildVersion><![CDATA[2.7.0]]></buildVersion>
    
  • If you have FLEX_HOME set up as environment variable you can skip this step. If not, set one of the following parameters:

    On Windows 32-bit:

     <winSDKPath><![CDATA[C:\MoonshineSDKs\Flex_SDK\Flex_xxx_AIR_xxx]]></winSDKPath>
    

    On Windows 64-bit:

     <winSDKPath64><![CDATA[C:\MoonshineSDKs\Flex_SDK\Flex_xxx_AIR_xxx]]></winSDKPath64>
    

    On Mac and Linux:

     <unixSDKPath><![CDATA[path/to/Flex_xxx_AIR_xxx]]></unixSDKPath>
    

In Moonshine-IDE\ide\MoonshineDESKTOPevolved\src\MoonshineDESKTOP-app.xml

  • By default Moonshine IDE builds with AIR 28.0. If you've installed newer version of AIR SDK on your environment (eg. 32.0) change this parameter accordingly:

     <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/32.0">
    

6a. Build Desktop Version

If you need to recompile language server, build and deploy codecompletion.jar. If not, you can skip this step.

cd language-server-wrappers/moonshine-as3mxml
ant deploy

To build the application itself, use these commands:

cd ide/MoonshineDESKTOPevolved/build
ant 

Find the generated artifacts in ide/MoonshineDESKTOPevolved/build/DEPLOY

6b. Build Web Version

To compile the SWF for the web version of Moonshine-IDE, run:

cd ide/MoonshineWEBevolved/build
ant 

Find the generated artifacts in ide/MoonshineWEBevolved/build/DEPLOY

NOTE: this part of the project is out of date. The server-side logic needs to be updated before the source can be released.

moonshinewebsite's Issues

Add version of Moonshine IDE on Download button

When I was going trough the website I haven't found place where we have explicitly exposed information about currently released Moonshine version. Please add such information on Download button if that place is ok for that.

Redirect certain URLs to documentation

The following URLs should probably 307 redirect somewhere useful.

https://moonshine-ide.com/docs/
https://moonshine-ide.com/docs/moonshine/

I'm trying to link to the Moonshine documentation from somewhere else on the web, but this URL that is currently used for "Docs" in the main navigation doesn't seem ideal to me:

https://moonshine-ide.com/docs/moonshine/moonshine_set_sdk.html

If I could link to https://moonshine-ide.com/docs/moonshine/ and it would 307 redirect to https://moonshine-ide.com/docs/moonshine/moonshine_set_sdk.html, that would be perfect, because it would allow the landing page to be changed in the future by updating the redirect.

Video to-do list

  • 1) What is Apache Royale

  • 2) Moonshine IDE and Apache Royale Installation

  • 3) How to run API report (tutorial)

  • 4) Solution section from proposal - business reasons to use Royale

  • 5) Automatic vs Manual Path

  • 6) Automatic Migration of a Simple App

<finish populating this master list, and break it into separate issues please>.....

Changes to download links

For download button links on the main page:

  • Download Mac OS Nightly AppStore should point to file instead of directory
  • Download Mac OS Nightly NonSandbox should point to directory instead of file

Link nightly version of Moonshine SDK Installer

We need the download section to allow for downloading the nightly version of Moonshine SDK Installer.
The order of the page sections should be:

  • latest stable
  • archived versions
  • link to the nightly directory

Preparation for Initial Release of Website

Here are the remaining tasks I am aware of for the Moonshine Website release

  • Move this website off of the Jekyll VM (if desired) (@Aszusz )
  • Update the Bamboo build plan to deploy the nightly builds to the new server (@JoelProminic )
  • Make sure that the URLs referenced by Moonshine still work. See the list below
  • Add moonshine-ide.com SSL certificate and enable SSL

And then the tasks for the release

  • Switch the moonshine-ide.com domain to the new server. (@JoelProminic )
  • Test that feedback and newsletter forms work with new domain (@JoelProminic )
  • Test the Moonshine and Moonshine SDK Installer links. (@Aszusz )

If these URLs are not available on the new site, we will get errors in Moonshine (including breaking auto-updates). If we can't match the old URLs, then we need to release a build of Moonshine that can handle the transition.

If you think of anything I missed, update the lists above or add a comment.

Change Feedback in menu to Contact Us

We need to change the way of communication. More of a discussions type of feedback should happen trough TopicBox. More direct feedback/issues etc trough contact form.

Update legal policies

What I did:

Also:

And of course:

  • Replaced all occurrences of Prominic with STARTcloud
  • Replaced email addresses, web addresses, physical addresses and phone number to the best of my ability

What I did not do:

Where I have doubts about what to do:

  • The policies: Acceptable Use, Account Isolation, Billing and Payment, Cancellation Policy and Contact Information seem to have limited use in STARTcloud context. We may want to reduce them severely or delete them altogether.
  • I wasn't sure how to provide billing address. They may need correction:
STARTcloud, Inc.  
251 Little False Drive  
Wilmington, Delaware 19808

Unable to connect/use subversion

Hi. Apologies if this is not the right place to post questions, but I'm so glad I found moonshine. I'm stuck at the subversion part. I'm running Xcode command line tools but it does not contain svn. I had to install it using homebrew. Now I see that Moonshine doesn't recognize it. How do I go about connecting them up?

Thank you in advance and thank you for a promising IDE for my 64-bit only mac!!

Improve Download section

Here is information from Justin's email:

  • This button does not download the latest Moonshine release for Mac users. It tries to download the very old App Store version. At a minimum, we should make the Download default for MacOS just be the same as clicking the drop down arrow at the moment until the App Store version is fixed:

~b023095

~b844305

  • It is really not clear how to get to the Moonshine SDK Installer from Moonshine. The download page for SDK Installer needs to be separate from the main Moonshine download page I think, because the user has to scroll all the way to the lower section to find the SDK Installer.

  • We still need a better image here that is at least the width of this, and can be zoomed by clicking on the image. People need to be able to see what Moonshine is at a reasonable level of screen shots before the install it. Really, we should also have a video or presentation... I thought at one point we had that?

Move Moonshine Website to GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages supports Jekyll but not SASS. In order to move the website to GitHub Pages I decided to:

  • remove SASS build step
  • include CSS output
  • keep SASS files in the repository. If anyone wants to use them the person needs to rebuild SASS locally and recommit CSS output

At some point I may want to opt out of SASS and even Materialize CSS framework completely and refactor to a lighter approach of Tailwind CSS for example.

Search Engine Optimization

We would like to start doing some Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for the website.

We could consider using tools like SEMRush (but this is a paid tool).

Fix GitHub Link

GitHub links points to MoonshineWebsite repository, but it should point to Moonshine-IDE repository.
