Hi Alex, well regarding the Flashplayer ... is is actually needed during the build. Not for actually building the SWF, but more for running the unit-tests.
Ok ... I would then suggest that we decide a fixed url pattern in which I could build a tool to automatically download zip files of flash-runtime (player + playerglobal) and air-runtime (sdk containing airglobal) for the different versions and platforms. The tool would then deal with mavenizing them on the client side. What would be good though, if all the zips had the same structure. Especially the flashplayer did have multiple names in the different Flex SDKs it would be cool if they were all called "flashplayer" ... at least this would make my life a lot easier :-). In this case you don't need any poms at all ... after all writing a pom to download a zip-file that you need to unpack an process before you can use it's content doesn't sound very Maven like to me. Would this be possible? Chris ________________________________________ Von: Alex Harui [aha...@adobe.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

Can the resource be a .zip file of the AIR SDK? In your example, I think you only were concerned about airglobal.swc, but I think we need the entire set of files as a single downloadable entity, especially to build mobile packages. I wouldn't really want to have unzipped AIR SDKs with a hierarchy of pom.xml files in them. So in my mind, there is an artifact for playerglobal.swc and an artifact that is the AIR SDK zip file. Or maybe different artifacts for Mac vs Win? The playerglobal.swc should be cross-platform. I hadn't planned to put the actual FlashPlayer under Maven. You only need it to run, not build. What are the other resource files you are referring to? -Alex On 11/28/12 1:19 PM, "christofer.d...@c-ware.de" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: > Well It's one pom.xml for every jar or resource you want to povide access to. > How many artifacts are you talking about?
