The compiler argument handling code is very complex. It could certainly have changed in 4.6 and 4.8. You can view the history in SVN.
It could be that you have to use –metadata.language several times with a single argument or use a non-comma delimiter in your list. -Alex On 11/1/12 3:23 AM, "christofer.d...@c-ware.de" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: Hi, I finally had the time to continue my work on the mavenized Flex sdks and Flexmojos. After my last changes the Testsuites seem tob e running nicely for FDKs 4.6 and 4.8 Unfortunately there seems to have been some changes as since 4.6 I am having random failures when using locale-chains. Perhaps I need to update Flexmojos to output configuration options differently. I would be glad, if you had any ideas about why this might be failling. With this issue resolved, I think I could call Flexmojos 6 and my Mavenized FDKs finished pretty soon :) Here comes the dump: [DEBUG] Compilation arguments: -includes=AnnotatedTest -includes+=main
