Hi, A while back I read that Marcel Overdijk over at the Grail Community had built a flex plugin.
http://marceloverdijk.blogspot.com/2007/08/another-sexy-flex-grails-example.html This lead me to wanting to find out more about the flex webtier compiler. I now use this routinely when developing flex front ends as I can just hit F5 and see my code changes take effect. I find this is much faster than using a swf based build cycle (flex mojos based, or using FlexBuilder - change, build, stop, start.) It's especially great when making styling changes (css or layouts) as you feel like you're just coding html. Anyway, my current working practice is fairly lame - I take a given project that I'm working on - say foo +pom.xml and I create a webtier project next to it - foo-webtier parent +foo ++pom.xml +foo-webtier ++pom.xml The webtier project is a really simple war project which just contains the j2ee webtier compiler artifacts with a modified jetty plugin configuration to allow me to get jetty to see changes to my foo project. The challenges I currently have are that I have to create a custom webtier project each time, and that the webtier project is not generic - I have hardcoded paths etc. in my flex-config.xml file and my pom.xml, but I'm sure it would be easy to use something like maven filters to generate these files. I can then run mvn jetty:run in the webtier project and I now have "F5" development lifecycle. Does anyone else on this list do anything similar? I'm happy to give you guys full details on what I currently do to turn this hopefully into an official plugin. Let me know your thoughts... thanks, Neil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Flex Mojos" group.
