To create a bundle, first create a Flex Library Project. Then add the Potomac Bundle Nature to the project via the right-click menu. See Getting Started.

You can setup a bundle’s dependencies via the Bundle XML Editor. Adding a bundle dependency there will automatically add that bundle’s SWC to the project’s build path.

A bundle’s activator class is a special class that is created and receives events regarding the bundle’s lifecycle. Today that’s limited to the bundleReady event. The activator can be used to initiate logic when the bundle is loaded.

Bundles can also contain a special folder called ‘extensionAssets’. This folder will automatically be copied into the /bin (output) folder of the bundle project. This directory can contain any resources that is to be loaded at runtime by the bundle.
