Well actually you're doing stuff that Maven doesn't like. From my experience whenever Maven makes it hard for you to do something, you are probably doing it wrong.
So in case of your CSS ... I think the cleanest solution would be to clean up your project structure. You could probably hack Maven to do what you want, but trust me, you will be living with that hack.

So for Eclipse/Flash Builder, I can just go to the project properties and add the folder from the other project as an additional source folder in the Flex Build Path – Source Path configuration panel. And then everything compiles just fine in eclipse/flash builder. However, maven is not aware of this. So yeah, not sure if the maven build-helper-plugin will help me fixing that.. I will try to find out now. (keep in mind, the structure of the files was not my choosing, those are all old projects that I need to convert to SDK 4.14 and consequently using flexmojos 7.1) Kr, Filip From: Mario Souza [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: dinsdag 26 mei 2015 23:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Flexmojos7.1 / Flash SDK 4.14 / external CSS I know that css files are parsed by mxmlc compiler, however, I continue keeping my css files under resource folder, like that: <mx:Style source="/../resources/css/Main.css"/> under resources, I have: css/ assets/ assets/images/ assets/icons/ locales/ everything compiling normally and working very well with 7.0.1 flexmojos version.

If you are referencing it without a "/" at the beginning, it's expected to be in the same package ad the class referencing it. Another thing that might be interesting: While in a html application a css file is a static resource, in flex it is usually compiled to ActionScript. So it needs to be added to the source-path and not the resource-path (At least I have the css files in my "src/main/flex" directory. But judging from your last post on the other Thread (To start the weekend), I would assume you have the file in the correct directory, but you have added the source dir to the resources. So the flex compiler is currently expecting your flex code in "src/main/java" and treats everything else as static resource. If you need multiple source paths I would again recommend to have a look at the build-helper-plugin and to set the source path to "src/main/flex" and use the plugin to add the second directory.

Mai 2015 13:34 An: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Betreff: Flexmojos7.1 / Flash SDK 4.14 / external CSS How does flexmojos handle external CSS files? Let me explain: I have 2 projects: One has my main app, the other is a library (which also contains a css file). When with flexmojos3.8 and SDK 4.1, the whole pom setup worked and I could build my main app project with no issues at all. Now however I get following error: D:\I3G\git-workspaces\flex\wp-nato-47\FlexAppealApp\src\main\flex\FlexAppealApp.mxml(28): Error: Problem finding external stylesheet: buildingblocks2.css <fx:Style source="buildingblocks2.css"/> The weird thing is, I didn't change anything to my poms. So I guess something must have changed between flexmojos 3.8 and 7.1 in the way that projects are coupled.
