Hey Shaun, while I prefer SVN I wouldn’t necessarily say that I am biased. Essentially, it comes down to accessibility and the most widely adopted and prevalent source control solution at this time is SVN. So my decision is really based on this.

Hi Jadd, I actually just setup the repository in SVN and am now in the process of setting up a public maven repository for artifacts. Should have something published this week.

hello eric, did you public the code or the project has been stopped? Thanks.

The Licensing will most likely remain the same: MIT X11 License, which is GPL-compatible. However, I may consider other alternatives.

Mavenized builds, nice…

If you need any help setting it up or even on publishing artifacts at central, lemme know, I probably can help.

Awesome news, but is there a particular reason you have chosen SVN over Git?

I understand that most Flash developers are currently more comfortable with SVN than Git, but I don’t believe that’s a strong enough argument. Hosting the code over at GitHub (for example) would allow anyone to contribute in a truly Open Source fashion. SVN just feels very anti-OS and static to me these days: commit permission is required from the admin which significantly raises the barrier-to-entry (esp for quick, once-off contributions).

Regardless, I dig your code, am happy that you share it, and look forward to seeing it move forward.
