Flex build support -- any success?

Hi, Christopher,

Maven Plugin supports flex-mojos:2 and should recognize dependencies correctly should you configured your pom file correctly.
If you have some problems with this, please attach the pom files and describe the problems in detailt.

Thanks,
Anton Makeev

Yes!  I seem to have it working.  For future reference, here's what I did.  I had a lot of trouble finding the right repos for flex-mojos.  Once I got this set up correctly, idea seems to correctly recognize the swc dependencies!  I only had to add a flex SDK: Project Structure -> JDKs -> [+] -> Flex SDK.   This is confusing, because the flex facet seems to want a directory, but it really wants you to select the already configured SDK from the popup based on it's directory.  (It looks like this will be fixed soon).  I ignored the message about missing the Flex SDK llibrary, because the dependencies are already set up automatically via maven plugin.  I select the Main.mxml and say run and it builds correctly and runs in flash.  Thanks for this!  It's very slick!

Christopher,

Thanks for posting this information. We have a flex project coming up. The entire team will be new to flex and we only have one small project worth of experience with Maven. So I know this information will be useful.

It's always great when people take the time like you did to post the solution they found to their issues. It serves as a great future reference for people and makes this Internet thing rather useful, and kind of cool.

Regards,
Lance
