?Hi Alex and any others eventually working on FlexJS,

I'm still struggling to streamline the Flexmojos integration. Currently it 
seems as if I was to compile a FlexJS application to SWF nothing has actually 
changed besides the artifacts that I need to reference. When it comes to 
JavaScript it's a lot trickier though. I couldn't see a 1-to-1 match of SWF and 
JS resources. If it were to stay this way I think Maven FlexJS support will 
never be more than a hack causing a lot of traffic of "noob questions" on the 
lists.


Would it be possible to package the JS parts in the same units as SWFs?

I was thinking of one of these scenarios:

- For each FlexJS swc, a matching directory for JS exists

- For each FlexJS swc a zip containing the JS part exists

- A FlexJS module consists of a SWF which contains the JS part as static 
resources (After all a SWC is a ZIP)


The last option would definitely make things in Flexmojos 1000 times easier 
than the the others. My runner-up option would be the SWC + ZIP solution. Last 
would be the directory (I would simply zip that up when generating the Maven 
artifacts). It would be super-duper-awesome, if FalconJX would be able to work 
with JavaScript jars/zips directly without unpacking them, as this would be the 
cleanest solution.


I think these changes would need to be done anyway if tool vendors like 
Jetbrains would start adding support for FlexJS natively as they would have to 
deal with the same problems.


What do you think? I need at least a direction to finish my presentation ;-)
