Well I did fix up Flexmojos to work with a manually deployed FlexJS sdk for the last ApacheCon EU in 2015 ... unfortunately so much has changed, that this is no longer possible. No matter how hard I try, I don't think it's possible to create a sensible build for FlexJS with this mixup with the swcs (containing JavaScript) and externs. And this is probably independent of the problem of building maven artifacts.
Chris PS: Packing up my stuff now ... leaving to Vancouver tomorrow. Will probably catch up on this discussion as soon as I'm in Canada. I would like to say: see ya ... well really hope Alex will make the trip on Wednesday. ________________________________________ Von: Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> Gesendet: Freitag, 6.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "maven driven". The regular Flex SDK is not built by Maven. Like you said, a Mojo makes it work. I am totally in favor of having Maven artifacts for you to use as a customer in your CI environment, but I don't know why every step that creates that artifact must be done with Maven. -Alex
