[FlexMojos] Compiling resource modules

[Frédéric THOMAS]

Hi,
 
I've got the requirement to create 3 runtime locales resource bundles for the 
main applications which will be loaded as needed at runtime, the main app has 
no compiled locales declared.
 
This [1] is how to do with the mxmlc compiler, my problem is that:
flexmojos-maven-plugin:6.0.1:compile-swf failed: SourceFile not specified and 
no default found!
 
FM complains because there's no sources which is normal, the sources are in the 
main app.
In src/main/flex I have my locale property files, one folder per locale.
 
My question is, how can I achieve that ?

 
This is my pom.xml for one of them:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

                        <locale>de_DE</locale>
                    </localesRuntime>
                    
<localesSourcePath>${basedir}/src/main/flex/{locale}</localesSourcePath>
                    
<resourceBundleNames>{artifactId}-{locale}-{classifier}</resourceBundleNames>
                    <includeResourceBundles>
                        <rb>Resources</rb>
                    </includeResourceBundles>

</project>

Compiling a resource moduleTo compile a resource module, you must use the mxmlc 
command-line compiler. You cannot compile resource modules by using Flex 
Builder. The output is a SWF file that you can then load at run time.To compile 
a resource module on the command line, use the following guidelines:Do not 
specify an MXML file to compile.Specify the include-resource-bundles 
option.Specify the locale by using the locale option.Add the locales to the 
source path.The include-resource-bundles option takes a comma-separated list of 
resource bundles to include in the resource module. You generated this list of 
required resource bundles in Determining the required resource bundles to 
include in a resource module.When compiling a resource module, you must also 
specify the locale by using the locale option.The following example compiles a 
resource module for the en_US locale:mxmlc -locale=en_US     
-source-path=locale/{locale}    
-include-resource-bundles=RegistrationForm,collections,containers,controls,core,
     effects,skins,styles     -output en_US_ResourceModule.swf

You can compile the resources for only a single locale into each resource 
module. As a result, you cannot specify more than one locale for the locale 
option.You should use a common naming convention for all of your locales' 
resource modules. For example, specify the locale in the SWF file's name, but 
keep the rest of the file name the same for all locales. This is because when 
you load the resource module, you want to be able to dynamically determine 
which SWF file to load. In the previous example, the resource module for the 
en_US locale is named en_US_ResourceModule.swf. If you then generated a 
resource module for the es_ES locale, it would be named 
es_ES_ResourceModule.swf.
