Sure, but Flexmojos does a perfectly fine job at building Flex in a Maven environment. I suppose if Marvin decided to abandon it, then there would be an argument for bringing it into the fold, but I don't see a reason to reinvent the wheel. Just use Flexmojos if you want to use Maven - That's certainly what I'm doing:)

Compiling the SDK with maven will make the pain and suffering of getting it into a maven repo go away and what you are doing will fix that. Compiling Flex sources in a maven build environment is the big issue and if flexmojos is not brought into the fold, there is a ton of development needed (or back to ant).
