When running Maven builds, there are typically a few settings that are useful to have in your ~/.bash_profile (for Mac or similar, depending on your shell) to help get things off on the right foot.
Set memory usage to 1024M minimum.
export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m
Set the path to the appropriate SDK for Flash Builder
FLASH4_SDK=’/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in/sdks/3.5.0′
Set the path for ADL if building AIR applications
ADL_PATH=${FLASH4_SDK}/bin
Set the path to the Flash Player for launching FlexUnit tests
FLASH_PLAYER_PATH=’/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in/Player/mac/Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS’
Append these to the current path
export PATH=${PATH}:${ADL_PATH}
export PATH=${PATH}:${FLASH_PLAYER_PATH}
