Hey Chris. Ok, so attempts to build with a full pom continue to fail, though I think I know why. I added more logging to my custom maven extension to help me understand better what was happening and it seems i'm failing on the first artifact in the flex sdk:
[INFO] In order to convert some of the skins in the Apache Flex SDK, a Flash SDK has to be downloaded. The terms of the Adobe licence Agreements were accepted by providing a system property. Using proxy: myProxy =========================================================== Downloading http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/playerglobal/playerglobal10_2.swc Expected size: 296KB 100% [==================================================] Finished downloading. =========================================================== Extracting playerglobal. [INFO] Convert the flex SDK Generate compiler artifacts *resolveArtifact: /var/folders/qk/91qw18xs50vcterddgs3rptssvz9001dt4x/T/FLEX-4.14.1-878044614303135564/lib/asc.jar, defaultGroupId: org.apache.flex.compiler, defaultVersion: 4.14.1 Calculating checksum for: /var/folders/qk/91qw18xs50vgrgcts3rptssvz9001dt4x/T/FLEX-4.14.1-878044614303135564/lib/asc.jar * It fails with the typical message, but I saw these two lines buried in the stacktrace: at org.apache.flex.utilities.converter.BaseConverter.lookupMetadataForChecksum(BaseConverter.java:132) at org.apache.flex.utilities.converter.BaseConverter.resolveArtifact(BaseConverter.java:329) I think the jersey client that is being used to lookup metadata for the checksum is not using the proxy. I added some logging statements to this class, so the line numbers in the stack trace may be a little off from your source, it it should be within a few lines. I thought to try to add the proxy information, but not sure how to do it since I believe this class is also used by the cli mavenizer, so it wouldn't have access to the mavenSession. So, I commented out line 329 in BaseConverter ( artifact = lookupMetadataForChecksum(checksum); ) just to see if I could get past that error, and now I get the flex 4.14.1 deployed to my local maven repo. However, I now fail with this: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project myArtifact: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.playground:myArtifact:swf:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.flexunit:flexunit:swc:flex4:4.1.0 in maven-central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/) So, still continuing my investigations... but getting ever closer.
