Oleg Sivokon commented on FLEX-8:
---------------------------------
Maven should not be a mandatory prerequisite for building SDK, period. If
someone is sadomasochist - let him or her enjoy it. You cannot down-vote an
issue in JIRA, but if you could, that Maven-related ticket wouldn't get that
many votes as it has now.
As of today, there is no good, in fact, no bearable support for building Flex
projects by using Maven. What there is, is an amateurish effort, malfunctioning
most of the time, something that implements only half of the API available to
the compiler. It is absolutely unusable for real-world projects.
What I'm most afraid of is that the next step after Maven gets used for
building the SDK, same people who now so much want to have it will come with
the demands like "please don't use feature X, because feature X is impossible
to do in Maven", or "please don't put these files in the directory Y, because
there is no way to set that in Maven", or "please don't code in this perfectly
valid way, because our Maven plugin doesn't allow this code to compile" - I saw
this happen before. And if you give a green light to these demands, you will be
punished for it, and will suffer just as well as the masochists who like that.
