A big thank you to Tom Sugden who has added support for Mac OS X.
For more details on how to use FlexUnit for Ant please see my earlier blog. There is also documentation on the flexunit Ant task parameters at the end of this blog. You can download FlexUnit from Adobe Labs.

Glad to see OS X support being made official. I actually hacked the source tonight to get this working before I saw this blog post.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I downloaded the source distribution from this page (in FlexAntTasks.zip), and couldn't see any changes in the FlexUnitLauncher.java source file to handle launching from OS X. Was the OS X support added in another area, or is the new source zip file not up to date with the OS X changes?

I can't get this to work on OS X 10.4.11. This is the first time I've tried this jar on a Mac though. The source zip doesn't seem to be updated since in the source it's trying to use rundll32 or gflashplayer both of which are not OS X compatible ;). If there a chance the src code is out of date?

Hi Peter. Thanks for the nice ant tasks :) I didn't see any licensing information in the libs. Would you be able to license it under something that would allow open source projects to use it?
Thanks
