My VM reminded me that this is going to be a bit more complex than one might think at first. Most x64 distributions of Linux (that I'm aware of) do not do a very good job of running 32-bit applications (32-bit support is not typically installed by default, and the chaining to get it can be a real nightmare). If anyone has any suggestions on that, I'm interested. This only matters because Flash support on x64 Linux is extremely experimental to say the least (and there is no standalone FlashPlayer, only a browser plugin--which doesn't help much for FlexMojos).
I'm going to setup a 32-bit Linux VM and I'll resume looking at this from there. For your reference, at the moment, I'm getting this build failure: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project flexmojos-tester: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-tester:jar:4.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: com.adobe:flashplayer:exe:10.1, com.adobe:flashplayer:uexe:linux:10.1: Could not find artifact com.adobe:flashplayer:exe:10.1 in flex-mojos-repository ( http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/flexgroup/, releases=true, snapshots=true, managed=false) To get that far, I had to do two things: 1. On the Building FlexMojos from Source page, the repository entry for http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/flexgroup does not have snapshots enabled. I had to enable it to get the various 4.0-SNAPSHOT FlexMojos artifacts the build requires. 2. In the flexmojos-parent pom.xml, I change the Maven version from "3.0" (which isn't released yet and leads to artifacts Maven can't find) to "3.0-beta-3", which is the version of Maven I'm using. I'd imagine this error is related to the pom change you linked above. I'll duplicate that change in my sourcebase after I setup my 32-bit VM.
