You are right that playerglobal.swc has "external" dependency scope in Maven terms (and -external-library-path in terms of Flex compiler options). Custom SWCs also may have "external" scope configred by user who wants to omit inclusion of classes from this custom SWC. From maven point of view both playerglobal.swc and custom.swc look the same. But compiler still needs to handle them differently. So far I don't see a way of making existing legacy compiler work correctly with renamed playerglobal.swc.

In Flexmojos I can set scopes "internal" and "external" (I think in Flexmojos Scopes the 
playerglobal should be "external").
So I'll investigate if setting the playerglobal dependency to Mavens scope 
"external" which should result in the same behaviour.

If the playerglobal is not needed to be included in the output as the runtime provides 
this, "external" seems to be exactly that and
I think providing that scope in maven is cleaner than renaming the package and 
then interenally handling it differently.

What do you think?

I'm afraid hardcoded "playerglobal.swc" is still not wiped out from the
compiler sources. See
flex2.compiler.mxml.lang.StandardDefs#SWC_PLAYERGLOBAL, its usage in
flex2.compiler.CompilerSwcContext#createSource() and further usages of
flex2.compiler.Source#isInternal(). With renamed playerglobal.swc
compiler will just work incorrectly.

Seems to work nicely without :-)

HI,

So is this now an obsolete requirement?
As far as I aware Flash Builder expects it to be called playerglobal.swc.

Thanks,
Justin
