Martin, I'm new to Maven / Flex, so I had to grab this from my Maven guru on the dev team, but here's what she said:
The maven scripts use the mxml files and all flex code to generate a build similar to the “Adobe Flex Builder 3” build. It generates all the files in the projectName-client-ria\target directory, packages them into a war file and then into an ear ready for deployment – running all FlexUnits along the way and creating the FlexUnit output reports in “\projectName-client-ria\target\surefire-reports”. If you're interested in more info, let me know and I'll get her on here to speak to it better. Thanks, Eric ________________________________ From: Martin Gainty <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, August 19, 2010 5:14:47 PM Subject: RE: Build Flex in a Headless Environment Good To know! does this plugin generate the mxml and as files and thru a module compiles those files with the flex compiler or is this just an execution only environment you're describing?
