GraniteDS provides server and client libraries that can be used to connect desktop and mobile applications to a server using the AMF3 or JMF serialization protocols, through RPC (remoting) and different messaging technologies (Comet, WebSocket, UDP).
It also provides comprehensive data management features for use with Flex, JavaFX and Android applications.
Artifacts are available on Maven central or on GraniteDS web site.
You can get community support on the GraniteDS user forums.
A dedicated Commercial support is also available.
You can report issues via the GraniteDS JIRA.
If you are not sure that what you get is a bug, please ask on the forums before submitting an issue.
GraniteDS uses Gradle as build system. You can use the gradle wrapper ./gradlew at the root of the project to run the build.
JDK 6+ (JDK 7+ recommended for JavaFX), JavaFX 2+ (optional if using JDK 7+). When using JavaFX 2 on a JDK 6, you will have to copy jfxrt.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib.
The build of the Flex libraries is optional and requires Flex SDKs 3.6 and 4.5 (or above). Unfortunately due to licensing issues we can’t redistribute them or even publish them on a remote repository so you will have to download them manually and install them in the local maven repository (a Maven 3.x installation is thus also required):
Then, install them with the following commands:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe -DartifactId=flex-sdk -Dversion=3.6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=flex_sdk_3.6a.zip mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe -DartifactId=flex-sdk -Dversion=4.5 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=flex_sdk_4.6.zip
If you run into the following error when you build the project:
Error: Could not create toplevel.xml: Cannot run program "/path/to/.gradle/gradleFx/sdks/c38cfb524afcc315b66387e5a36fe4f5c5b91c32/asdoc/templates/asDocHelper" (in directory "[...]"): error=13, Permission denied
Just issue this command and relaunch the build process:
chmod +x /path/to/.gradle/gradleFx/sdks/c38cfb524afcc315b66387e5a36fe4f5c5b91c32/asdoc/templates/asDocHelper

Note
|
You can install any compatible version the Flex SDKs (for example Apache Flex 4.10 for SDK 4.5) but you must use the version numbers 3.6 and 4.5. |
Projects configuration are provided for Eclipse, you can directly import all subprojects in Eclipse. Note that the provided project files use Gradle-managed dependencies build path containers and assume that you are using the Eclipse Gradle IDE plugin.
