Goals Overview

The Flex Compiler Plugin has two goals. Both are already bound to their proper phases within the Maven Lifecycle and are therefore, automatically executed during their respective phases.

• flex-compiler-mojo:compile-swf is bound to the compile phase and is used to compile the main Flex source files into an application file. Depending on the package type, either a Flex application (swf) or AIR application (aswf) is created.
• flex-compiler-mojo:compile-swc is bound to the compile phase and is used to compile a library file. Depending on the package type, either a Flex library (swc) or AIR library (aswc) is created.
• flex-compiler-mojo:compile-resource-bundle is bound to the compile phase and is used to compile a resource bundle.
• flex-compiler-mojo:test-compile is bound to the test-compile phase and is used to compile the Flex test source files.
• flex-compiler-mojo:test-run is bound to the test phase and is used to run the Flex tests.

Usage

Instructions on how to use the Compiler Plugin can be found here.

Default Flex Configuration

Below the default configuration which is used to compile the Flex sources. This configuration can be changed by adding a configuration section to the plugin in your pom. See usage for more information.

The flex compiler includes the fonts for both Windows and Mac. Depending on the system on which the compilation is done, the correct fonts file is copied to the target directory.
