Question

I am trying to copy the the dependent rsls into war using the copy-
flex-resources plugin. However I’m getting the following error :

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-
plugin:3.8:copy-flex-resources (copy-flex-resources) on project smh:
Failure to find com.adobe.flex.fram
textLayout:swz:4.1.0.16076 in https://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/flexgroup
was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted
until the update
val of sonatype-flex-repository has elapsed or updates are forced
…………
[ERROR] Then, install it using the command:
[ERROR] mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe.flex.framework –
DartifactId=textLayout -Dversion=4.1.0.16076 -Dpackaging=swz -Dfile=/
path/to/file

I’ve already gone through the links
http://groups.google.com/group/flex-mojos/browse_thread/thread/6f47b2980275aaeb
http://groups.google.com/group/flex-mojos/browse_thread/thread/2aa96d8d69e1ddb5
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/sites/maven-sites/flexmojos/3.8/copy-flex-resources-mojo.html

I’ve followed listing of poms as specified in
https://docs.sonatype.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7045277

to resolve the above issue, I installed the swz file onto local
repository using
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe.flex.framework –
DartifactId=textLayout -Dversion=4.1.0.16076 -Dpackaging=swz –
Dfile=textLayout_1.1.0.604.swz
(Side effect of this was this overwrote the existing pom config in
repository )

and then ran mvn compile. I got the following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-
plugin:3.8:copy-flex-resources (copy-flex-resources) on project smh:
Failed to copy C:\Users\bharadke.m2\repository\com\adobe\flex

I’m all over this issue , but couldnot find a solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated

UPDATE 1 :
@J_A_X, I somehow got that to work with combination of 4.0-RC1 and correcting the pom. But there is another problem.
The custom dependencies i had added like

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.puremvc.pipes</groupId>
        <artifactId>Utility_AS3_MultiCore_Pipes</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <type>swc</type>
        <scope>rsl</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.puremvc.multicore</groupId>
        <artifactId>PureMVC_AS3_MultiCore</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.5</version>
        <type>swc</type>
        <scope>rsl</scope>
    </dependency>

are not getting copied. getting following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-plugin:4.0-RC1:copy-flex-resources (copy-flex-resources) on project smh: Execution copy-flex-resources of goal
org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-plugin:4.0-RC1:copy-flex-resources failed: Failed to resolve artifact com.hp.ci:ci-ui-lib:swf:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]

I believe the flex-mojos plugin shud automatically extract the swf from respective swc and copy to destination instead of we installing into repository. Am i correct on this ?

Answer 1

Solved this using a combination of multiple things.

1. updated to flex-mojos-4.0.RC1
2. Adobe does not have mavenized version of framework rsls. hence need to download them and install to our local repo
   http://groups.google.com/group/flex-mojos/browse_thread/thread/6f47b2980275aaeb
3. Each of RSLurl entry SHUD have a policyfileURL entry
   Each entry in the rslUrls array must have a corresponding entry in this array
   http://repository.sonatype.org/content/sites/flexmojos-site/4.0-SNAPSHOT/compile-swf-mojo.html
4. All the custom rsls should have corresponding swf in repo. i.e the copy-flex-resources will not automatically run create-rsl goal. it should be run in each of the libraries and the corresponding swf files should be installed into repo.
