Just b/c I wanted to be a prick, again. It's Ant, not ANT, even though it's an abbreviation ;) Sorry, no offense meant. I probably do way too many typos myself, it's just because it's kind of an Apache project and we are on an Apache mailing list.
I have explained several lines above why *you* will be affected, not the people who use Ant builds. Please, pay attention. I'll repeat, to make it more obvious to you. The code below you *cannot compile using Maven plugin called FlexMojos*: CONFIG::debug { trace("I'm in debug mode!"); } Seeing how things happened in practice, I can quite remember how people who used Maven came to me complaining I used conditional compilation in the project. Programming is, in a lot of way, a science of understanding and fixing your errors. Using Maven for a Flex project was an error. If you want to write a Maven plugin that wraps mxmlc + compc + whatever else there is - I don't care, but if you want to build SDK using Maven - I care a whole lot. I don't understand from your post what would be in the *apache flex maven artifacts*. But, again, if that the framework code you distribute to other people who want to use Maven for themselves - it's OK / do whatever you want, I'm not commenting on it any more. But if this is intended for people working on the SDK to build it - I'm strongly against that. Best. wvxvw
