Ok ... so maven and it's classloading can be a PITA ;-) But the latest version now works with all Maven versions from 3.1.1 up to 3.3.1. So if you copy the fat jar from flex-utils/mavenizer/maven-extension/target/flex-maven-extension-1.0.0.jar to MAVEN_HOME/lib/ext and try to build a Flex project with Flexmojos, the magic will kick in instantly.
Unfortunately my last changes seem to have broken the ability to include the extension using the ".mvn/extensions.xml" mechanism. I'll fix that as soon as possible.

April 2015 18:18 An: dev@flex.apache.org Betreff: AW: Flex SDK Converter Maven Extension available Ok ... today I started testing the extension with older Maven versions and with the extension installed in MAVEN_HOME/lib/ext instead of having it referenced from ".mvn/extension.xml" and it seems I have to put a little more work into this option. But feel free to test it with 3.3.1 :-) Chris ________________________________________ Von: Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> Gesendet: Samstag, 18.

I will have more time on Sunday to continue the converter test and could be a good opportunity to try this version too.
