The Maven Flex Plugin 2.3.1 has been released.
Change log:
- Handle of flex:eclipse goal for air applications.
- Added feature #2563487: when useLocalFlexSDK is set to true, SDK <!– /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:”"; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-font-family:”Times New Roman”;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –> dependencies are not added to library path.
- Added new configuration property: <mxmlExtraFiles> allows to put multiple flex applications into the same project.
- Added new configuration property: <useLocalFlexSDK> allows to use local flex SDK.
- Added support for two compiler options : include-file, include-stylesheet.
- Added functionality to flex:eclipse : embedded files and styles are generated in flexLibProperties.xml.
- buildFinalName configuration option added.
- Component manifests now allows including class using manifest files in SWC artifatcs.
- ArchiveFiles and StyleSheets SWC attachment fixed: when building SWC project files with flex:eclipse, the plugin will ignore not existing files and files not in sourceDirectory or resourcesDirectory. The flex plugin will raise an exception if one of the defined files does not exist. But it will include existing files that are not in sourceDirectory or resourcesDirectory.
- Fixed issue on themes configuration. NB: a css file should be set as theme and the swf referenced inside the CSS file.
- Fixed issue #2694561: classEntry path is correctly created when a package starts with .as or .mxml.
- Fixed issue #2698139: included classes array is no more empty.
- Fixed .actionscriptProperties file generation: the link for referenced project is now set to “bin” instead of taking in fact the project’s nature.
- .actionscriptProperties file rootUrl property fixed.
- Improved documentation.
CManager tutorial
CManager, a tutorial which illustrates the development of a Flex application using ActionScript Foundry, is available. The application is composed of a Flex client and Java/BlazeDS service running on a Tomcat server. You can read the tutorial here.
Using Spring ActionScript With ActionScript Foundry
What is Spring ActionScript ?
According to the official site:
” Spring ActionScript is an Inversion of Control (IoC) Container for ActionScript 3.0, and more specifically the Flex framework. It enables you to configure objects and components in a non-intrusive way by describing them in an external xml document and having them loaded at runtime. ”

ServeBox ActionScript Foundry 2.1.0 has been Released

- Compatibility with Spring ActionScript ( prana ) improved
- Load mechanism for external resources at startup refactored
- Code cleaning
- ISMartFormElement forward change event to SmartForm
- Using flex SDK 3.2.0.3958

Changelog :
- Change url repository in all archetype to http://maven.servebox.org/repository
- Add source attachment mechanism for swc ( FLEX_LIB_NATURE ) project
A sample Flex/Webapp project using Maven
This is a sample flex3/J2EE project configured as a multi-module maven project. You can use this structure as a basis to build your own project. The Flex project should be considered as a dependency of the Web app project (the WAR). Using the maven dependency plugin, the swf artifact is copied to the web application root folder.
The project contains three modules :
- flex-gui : the SWF artifact,
- java-service : a sample Java facade,
- web-app : the Web application, depending on both the flex-gui and java-services artifacts.
