I agree with Bryan.. thats how i set up my projects too. For me even you can run a maven goal to copy the swf over to the webserver it is slow.. What I ended up doing was to set up flex projects not as maven projects but just normal flex project, it then all worked really well (as you can then set the output compile path to the webserver). It did take a bit of time to get everything fitted nicely, but is well worth it.
I then let my CI to tell me if some dependency is missing etc, local unit tests still run well in this setup (in 10 you can get intellij to use different flash player to run the tests too) I have a flashBuilder 4 pro licence and was on Flex Builder 3 the code editing experience is just no way as smooth as intellij. I now only use flash builder when my designer give me new skins and to use its memory profiler.. If you have to use flash builder.. your experience maybe better adding this plugin to your IDE: http://www.elementriver.com/sourcemate <http://www.elementriver.com/sourcemate>C On 2 December 2010 22:59, Bryan Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > Are all of your Flex modules in the same src/main/flex directory as your > main.mxml?
