You guys are awesome!
I feel little tears of joy coming to my eyes when I think about this beautiful collaboration! But seriously, I am looking forward to using the output and helping out any way I can. Once you two decide how to proceed, please let the rest of us know how to get involved. In the mean time, I have a little question for Christian: I had the font problem you mentioned at http://www.israfil.net/projects/mojo/maven-flex2-plugin/usage.html and modified my flex-config.xml to make it work. Now I want other teammates to be able to build as well, but don't like the idea of asking them to modify their flex-config.xml files. I know there is a way to specify a different location of flex-config.xml, so I could just check in a modified one, but it seems that in that case it will use only the specified file and not read the global one at all anymore, so we wouldn't get any changes as this file is modified with future Flex versions. I found something in this article that sounds related to this problem (search for ".ser"): http://mxdj.sys-con.com/read/310378.htm Maybe we just have to pass the flexlib parameter to mxmlc? Any other suggestions?

Resources bundles are also considered as dependencies. Right. That makes sense. The maven-flex2-plugin includes an option to ignore the flex-sdk lib contents and use deployed artifacts, precisely because of what you are saying. But we were having some problems with my client deploying things into their internal maven repo, so this avoided that problem practically, while allowing for a more mature use as you have implemented. Anyway, we should collaborate to merge the two, I think, and make sure we're including the best of all possible requirements, but you seem to have done a great job so far. There might even be no added value in mine, except insofar as I have already arranged for replication to the repo1.maven.org, but that's organizational. We'll figure it out.
