Goals Overview

The plugin enables you to build libraries, Flex applications, and perform unit tests. Each of the goals below is linked to a standard life cycle phase, such as : package, test, install and deploy .

• flex:makeswc allows you to build a SWC artifact (library). You can use the package goal as a shortcut, defining swc as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:makeswf allows you to build a SWF artifact (application). You can use the package goal as a shortcut, defining swf as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:installswc allows you to install a SWC artifact (library) to your local Maven repository. You can use the install goal as a shortcut, defining swc as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:installswf allows you to install a SWF artifact (application) to your local Maven repository. You can use the install goal as a shortcut, defining swf as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:deployswc allows you to deploy a SWC artifact (library) to your remote Maven repository. You can use the deploy goal as a shortcut, defining swc as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:deployswf allows you to deploy a SWF artifact (application) to your remote Maven repository. You can use the deploy goal as a shortcut, defining swf as the packaging into you POM file.
• flex:asdoc allows you to build API Documentation.
