Hi Ron, I think you got what I'm trying to do a little wrong. It's not two different set of dependencies, it's two different ways of linking the same set of libraries. If I were to translate this into java, imagine that the default way an application was built would be to include all Classes needed by the application to be bundled in the application Jar (The classes not needed aren't included). Now in modular applications I am able to switch to something exactly the same as in Java ... no code is included in the Application jar, but the referenced libraries are deployed in parallel to the application jar, so the JVM can pull them in as needed (In Flex this type is called rsl (runtime shared library).
So in principal I have the same set of dependencies, but in the rsl-linking type these dependencies have an additional "scope=rsl" setting. Up until now there was only one pom with the default set of dependencies. If the users wanted to utilize rsl linking they would have to manually add each dependency and set that's scope to rsl. I would like to make it easier for users to switch. So the profiles is bad, the pom with classifier doesn't work ... I would really like to avoid to have something like an "flramework" artifact and one "framework-rsl" for the rsl linking.

Separate all the common code into a core project and have 2 projects that depend on it for producing the final artifacts for particular envoronments. This may also help in organizing your tests so that you clearly separate tests for the core software from tests that depend on one environment or the other. It will certainly simplify your project for other developers who might not be familiar with both environments and have trouble sorting through files that do not apply to the environment that they know.
