Ok … commenting my own post again.
So Pixelbender is a native application. If I was to create a plugin to compile
the pbk to pbj files, we would add a dependency to an installed tool and
introduce another Environment Variable.
I don’t want to do that for the Maven build. I’m happy that we got rid of
dependencies like that.
If the pbj files are somewhat static, an alternative would be to package the
compiled pbj files into a jar or zip and to manually release that. We would
then reference these static resources from Maven
As they are our code, we should be allowed to release the binary files. If we
do it as Apache Flex team, we can use the Apache Nexus and that mirrors stuff
to Maven Central.
Would you think that’s a good way to do it?

Ok … so I changed the flexjs-maven-plugins default for
“failOnCompilerWarnings” from false to true and now the build for Graphics
fails.
Investigating the problem a little more, it seems as if the “pbk” files are
source files and these are compiled by pixelbender to pbj files. Is that
correct?
If yes, then the location for the pbk files is correct, however do we need
a Maven plugin to compile the pbk to pbj files.

Ok … so that’s a Flash-Only bead?
If the pbj files ar “sources”, I would add them to FlexJS. If they have
to be simply read as pbj files, they belong into src/main/resources, If
something compiles them to something else, then it belongs into src/main/flex …
But I’ll have a look at that right away.

Yes we do.
Yishay created a BlendBead and the pixel bender files are needed to
get the blends to render correctly in Flash.
