    <configuration>
                <componentManifests> 
                        <componentManifest> 
                                <manifestFile>src/main/resources/mxml-manifest.xml</manifestFile> 
                                <manifestURI>http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml</manifestURI> 
                        </componentManifest> 
        </componentManifests>
        </configuration>

    Be sure to place the mxml-manifest.xml in the corresponding directory

With the same mechanism you can also add your own componentManifest. ( can be useful for map all your own classes on a single namespace, such as mx: for all framework component )
