>I'm a bit confused by the "generator" and what is quoted below
This may indeed seem at first sight antagonist, on one side, a tool that allows the generation of an mavenized SDK from sources and on the other side, sources already mavenized. The generator is an excelent tool that will allow end users (wishing to develop at home in Flex / Maven) to build a mavenized version of the SDK; for companies, the team in charge of managing the repositories can also benefits of it, this what I personally did, by cons, it is not the norm, usually you get artifacts from official ripositories (some companies are very reluctant to accept what is not coming from very well known repositories), it goes off by snapshot versions and releases, this is not possible without mavenized sources execpt if you're allowed to directly deploy your artefacts on it what is not the common use. These approaches address the need to have a mavenized SDK but in different ways and for different constraints. The Christofer's tool greatly reduces the gap between to have nothing at all and already mavenized sources and for that, this is a quick and magic solution in this direction, but it is not the most ideal. >If we > wanted to create maven artifacts for the official maven repo, we certainly > can't bundle in Adobe stuff, so wouldn't that require that Adobe either > publishes to the official maven repo or at minimum puts up its own pom.xmls > on its site so maven can pull the Adobe stuff from there? Not sure of what you're talking about, OSMF, Textlayout, or something else ? Frédéric THOMAS
