Localization: "unable to open '...\src\main\locale\en_US'"

I added localization support for my project (for locale "de_DE" only), which I set in my build script as

locales = ['de_DE']

However the build now complains about a missing en_US folder (yes, it does not exist) and I wonder why...?

Execution failed for task ':flex:client:test'.
Compilation failed:
command line: Error: unable to open 'D:\Workspaces\Flex\cockpit\flex\client\src\main\locale\en_US'

   That's strange indeed. By default the compiler uses en_US because that's specified in the flex-config.xml file in the SDK, but when you use the 'locales' property, it should override this default.

   As a little test, what happens when you remove the "locales = ['de_DE']" definition and instead specify it via the additionaCompilerOptions like this:

   additionalCompilerOptions = [
       '-locale',
       'de_DE'
   ]

   Would you mind trying to run your build in verbose mode (just add the -i flag) and see what arguments are effectively being passed to the compiler? It should read -locale=de_DE (not -locale+=de_DE) somewhere in there and the -locale flag should be used only once.

   Ok, just did. Occurs only once and correct:

   Compiling with mxmlc
     +configname=flex
     -source-path+=D:\Workspaces\Flex\cockpit\flex\client\src\main\as3
     -source-path+=D:\Workspaces\Flex\cockpit\flex\client\src\main\locale/{locale}
     -locale=de_DE

   I just looked at an old project of mine that was Dutch only and it had locales = ['nl_BE', 'en_US'], with an empty en_US folder. Looks like it's mxmlc that absolutely wants an en_US locale as ultimate fallback.
