It’s not that we don’t like Maven in general (obviously since we’re cool with it for Java), we just found it’s almost too much trouble with Flex. It never fails to make us want to pull our hair out and say “Why bother?” — Yes, we have used FlexMojos and we’re still not convinced. So we use Ant for Flex builds.

Instead of writing our own Ant build tutorial series for Flex, we’d like to push you to Jon Campos’s tutorials:

January 7th, 2010 - Using ANT to build an Application
January 14th, 2010 - Building a Library with ANT
January 19th, 2010 - Building the HTML Wrapper with ANT
January 20th, 2010 - Building a Custom HTML Wrapper with ANT
January 21st, 2010 - Including Assets Files with ANT
January 26th, 2010 - Building a Library and Application with ANT
January 28th, 2010 - Building ASDocs with ANT
February 2nd, 2010 - Run Flex Unit Tests from ANT
February 4th, 2010 - Run FlexMonkey Tests from ANT
February 9th, 2010 - The Master Flex ANT File

Thanks for an awesome series Jon.

As a side note, if someone can convince me that mvn + flex is better/easier than ant by all means ping me. brianr@webappsolution.com
