[osflash] Bit OT: MXMLC broken on OS X after update 2?

[Niels Wolf]

Hey Johannes.

Yes. I changed the version through the java pref app. I also tried setting
JAVA_HOME in the environment variables.
I found out that you can not remove updates, though:
"Java on Mac OS X is updated incrementally through numerous releases.
Therefore, the only way to revert to an earlier Java installation is to
reinstall the operating system."
http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/#remove

It also does not make any difference if it is sdk 2 or 3 homebrewed ant task
or flex_ant_task from adobe.

When I remove big and important chunks in my homebrew I can actually compile
but then I can not set things like library-paths.. (yeah, no white space in
path, it worked before).
