Oleg Sivokon commented on FLEX-8:
---------------------------------
I am extremely against Flexmojos because they screwed MXMLC API and aren't
willing to fix them. I would be really disappointed to see later this becoming
an obstacle for others to use compiler features. Ant is a valid common
denominator. At some point, I'd like to write an alternative, which uses scons
(mainly for myself, but if anyone will be interested, I won't keep that secret).
Besides, I believe that Maven is the worst possible approach to building
projects in general since GNU Make (could be worse at times...) it is extremely
difficult to debug the build scripts (practically, impossible), it is beyond
any reason difficult to add functionality to build scripts, since everything
requires you to write a module that implements a bunch of interfaces,
dependencies and so on. If anyone wants to die hard - please, there are still
some of us, who enjoy this life sometimes.
The most significant disadvantage of Flexmojos is <b>no conditional
compilation</b>. As I said it, they didn't implement it, and from the comments
in the bug-tracker it looks like they aren't going to do anything about it, and
this is a total showstopper for compilation of even the existing code.
Sorry, but that's the cry of pain, as I had to suffer this for whole four
months.
