Hi Christofer, I would certainly not claim to be an expert in the matter, but I have gathered quite some knowledge by contributing to GradleFx ( http://gradlefx.org/). Much like FlexMojos is a Maven plugin for compiling Flex apps, GradleFx is a Gradle (http://gradle.org/) plugin to achieve the same goal.
It's open-source, so you're welcome to take a look at how we implemented things. I guess you would especially be interested in the org.gradlefx.cli package ( https://github.com/GradleFx/GradleFx/tree/master/src/main/groovy/org/gradlefx/cli). We used Gradle's built-in ANT task executor to execute the compile command through Flex's own ANT task. The CommandLine Interface wrapping is fairly complete, but there are two things still missing: - module support (see https://github.com/GradleFx/GradleFx/issues/46) - full AIR/mobile support (only partially implemented, also see https://github.com/GradleFx/GradleFx/issues/25) Feel free to ask questions if you think we can be of assistance.
