Here's a link to that API: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/compilerAPI_flex3.pdf
I guess the main advantage was that you were able to load the compiler once and reuse that instance throughout your build. This dramatically reduced the build time, because the compiler didn't have to load up to 3 times (Main, Test, ASDoc) for every Maven module.

Hmmm I think this is the way Flexmojos used to work in the old days, but has since switched to using the oem-compiler thingy ... don't 100% understand what that is into all details, but as far as I understand, it's an API for directly communicating with the Compiler mainly used by OEMs for creating IDEs and Tools utilizing Flex. I recall this had a great performance improvement over the command-line wrapping solution, so this is more the way I am going to choose. Anyway ... the compiler is Java and so I would like to instantiate it and communicate with it directly using some pre-defined API.

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.
