I'm coming in late to this discussion but I thought I would share what
we do at our company. We have a large legacy section of Flex code
that contains multiple projects, and a few of the projects output
multiple applications AND modules. I wanted to compile this legacy
code alongside our new projects that use a proper structure by
default. It is easily accomplished. The legacy flex projects reside
in <base>/flex/, so we created a new directory called <base>/flexV2/
and in this folder we created a folder for EACH artifact output from
the legacy projects. So if there was a project that had two
application and two modules that would equal four folders. Each
folder has a POM which references the necessary source code
<build>
<sourceDirectory>../../flex/LegacyProject/src</sourceDirectory>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.flexmojos</groupId>
<artifactId>flexmojos-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${flex.mojos.version}</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<sourceFile>Application.mxml</sourceFile>
<output>${basedir}/../../tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/InTouchFDS/
LegacyProject/Application.swf</output>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This works great and we've had no problems that we haven't been able
to solve. Velo noted in a blog post (which I can't find right now)
that you should NOT create a new project using a structure like this,
but for legacy code it definitely works
