13.4. The FlexMojos Lifecycle
The FlexMojos Maven plugin customizes the lifecycle based on the
packaging. If your project has a packaging
of type swc
or swf,
the FlexMojos plugin with execute a customized lifecycle if your
plugin configuration sets the extensions to
true. Setting Plugin Extensions to True for Custom Flex Lifecycle shows the plugin configuration
for the flexmojos-maven-plugin with the extensions
set to true
.

13.4.1. The SWC Lifecycle
When the packaging is swc, FlexMojos will execute the lifecycle shown
in Figure 13.7, “The FlexMojos SWC Lifecycle”. The highlighted goals are goals
from the FlexMojos plugin, the goals which are not highlights are
standard goals from the Core Maven plugins.
The FlexMojos contributed goals are:
-
flexmojos:compile-swc
-
This goal compiles all of the Actionscript and MXML files in the
sourceDirectory
into a SWC. A SWC is an Adobe library or class
file which contains components and resources used in Flex
applications.
-
flexmojos:test-compile
-
This goal compiles all of the Actionscript and MXML files in the
testSourceDirectory
.
-
flexmojos:test-run
-
This goal executes unit tests using the Flash Player. This goal can
only run if the Flash Player has been configured as described in
Section 13.2.3, “Configuring Environment to Support Flex Unit Tests”.
13.4.2. The SWF Lifecycle
When the packaging is swf, FlexMojos will execute the lifecycle shown
in Figure 13.8, “The FlexMojos SWF Lifecycle”. The highlighted goals are goals
from the FlexMojos plugin, the goals which are not highlights are
standard goals from the Core Maven plugins.
The FlexMojos contributed goals are:
-
flexmojos:compile-swf
-
This goal compiles all of the Actionscript and MXML files in the
sourceDirectory
into a SWF. A SWF is a file which contains an
application that can be render by the Adobe Flash Player or Adobe
AIR software.
-
flexmojos:test-compile
-
This goal compiles all of the Actionscript and MXML files in the
testSourceDirectory
.
-
flexmojos:test-run
-
This goal executes unit tests using the Flash Player. This goal can
only run if the Flash Player has been configured as described in
Section 13.2.3, “Configuring Environment to Support Flex Unit Tests”.
