Hello all,
In my company, we are currently using a custom made maven plug-in, created a
long time ago, for compiling flex modules and we are investigating the
possibility to switch to FlexMojos.
One particular feature that we have in our plug-in, is a new type of
artifact, that we called fxm, that is actually the compilation of the same
module twice, once as a swc and once as a swf.
Those fxm modules can also have a moduleCSS that allow us to also compile
one CSS per module and attach it to the main artifact with a style
qualifier.
We managed to do the same with Flexmojos by adding the configuration of two
extra executions and configuring the build-helper plug-in to attach the swf
to the swc artifact.
But this is quite verbose plug-in configuration that we would have to repeat
in each module configuration. I was wondering if there was a way to make
this with less configuration?
One issue we faced with Flexmojos is that we use namespaces, and when we
include a namespace, we also have to specify that we want to include all the
classes otherwise the one that are not imported in that module aren’t
included.
It’s working, but it’s again something that we have to specify in each
module.(we have a lot of modules)
We had a look in the source code, and we found in FlexbuilderMojo the
following test :
if ( includeClasses == null && includeSources == null &&
includeNamespaces == null )
{
// Changed to relative paths to eliminate issues with
spaces.
additionalCompilerArguments.append( " -include-sources " +
plain( cleanSources( getSourceRoots() ) ) );
}
else if ( includeSources != null )
{
additionalCompilerArguments.append( " -include-sources " +
getPlainSources() );
}
And the includeNamespaces is managed just after in another if.
We were wondering if you would consider removing the “&& includeNamespaces
== null “ from that statement.
This would allow to only have to specify the namespaces we want to include
and by default all the classes would be included as well.
One thing that I didn’t find out, is when a link-report is provided, does
the FlexbuilderMojo also add it to the compilation parameters of the
project?
This is important for us because to speed up development process, we often
hot deploy only the modified swf compiled by FlexBuilder to the server, so
we need to have FlexBuilder compilation as close as possible to the one made
by maven.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Nicolas.
