Tim,

Any indication available of how long it will be before command line building is
available? My build and deployment process is severely hampered by not having it. I
realise it is not perhaps the most critical of things to work on, but as the
development cycle of applications written with it matures, it becomes more
important.

Thanks for any info or time you have for it.

(All the previous conversations still apply - I don't mind if it is the IDE that
appears to do the build and then disappear again. Just any way to take the source
files as is and compile and output them would be fine.

Yes, I would like to have it too. Most important for me is a way to
avoid deployment of uncompressed code. I already forgot to click that
button several time.

Hmm, indeed. In fact I think I just did a PhoneGap build with plain code...

I'll try to work it into the next build/release.  It all really depends on
how fast I can wrap up the new EWB PHP Extension for Linux that I mentioned
in another post.  I'm trying to make sure that it's available ASAP to give
everyone a pre-made option on Linux web hosts for EWB applications.

Hmm, it seems that I have to use plain code to get it to work in PhoneGap at the
moment. Not sure if I had it working in compressed mode before. I wonder why...

You shouldn't need to - all external calls/references are *not* compressed.
Did you remove any "external" keywords ?

I'm not aware of removing anything, but I will try again now I've got a better
workflow for it.

Tim, I've been working on this, and there are two things worth noting. First, the
HTML output changes the
onload="EO_load()" onunload="EO_unload()"
parts, which is why the compressed code is failing - my html in the Android build
is not copied across. I'll have to fix that, but it might be nice to be able to
keep the load/unload function names.

The other thing of interest to anyone looking into PhoneGap is that the load time
can be too slow, particularly on the Android emulators in a VM. This StackOverflow
question has the answers:

I have added the timeout and it works, but I will probably try the alternative main
page as it might be faster overall.

The load/unload names are specifically compressed - they have to be:

This is not specific to PhoneGap, although it may appear more frequently
with it.  I've got to add a "workflow" component to the framework that can
be used with the form creation code during startup and can properly
periodically relinquish control to prevent the browser from thinking that
the application is unresponsive.
