MXMLC and 64bit JRE
Are there any workarounds to get the Flex compiler to work with a 64bit JRE? If I use an MXMLC task in an Ant buildfile in Eclipse it works fine but if I try to use MXMLC from the command line (or try the Run... command from FDT in Eclipse) it fails, telling me ...
"Error loading: C:\Program Files\Java\jrrt-1.6.0\jre\bin\jrockit\jvm.dll"
(this is with a 64bit JRockit runtime but that shouldn't matter).
Answer
There is currently no support for using the Flex compiler with the 64 bit JRE. Instead, have the compiler use a 32 bit JRE.
To do so, you'll need to edit the jvm.config file located in FLEX_HOME\bin. Within jvm.config, set java.home to the location of a 32bit JRE. If you don't already have a 32bit JRE, download it.
Example:
java.home=C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6
