Flex-Mojo/Flex-compiler version issues with Flex 4.1 and maven2

Question

My projects UI is built using Flex4.1..I am using maven2 and trying to figure out which flex-mojo version should I use for compiling.

I tried with the following,

<flex.sdk.version>4.1.0.16076</flex.sdk.version>
<flex.mojo.version>3.6.1</flex.mojo.version>

but am running into issues..

Not too sure why it is referring the compiler version as '3.2.0.3958' although I have defined the compiler version same as the "flex.sdk.version". My plugin looks like

Answer 2

Well, I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out the same thing. Finally, I ran across this:

Since flexmojos is an extension, it will be downloaded before the build start to allocate the swc/swf packaging support into memory.

I decided something else in the project (which is huge) was configuring flexmojo for flex4 (i was trying to build an old flex3 module) and i was getting this in-memory configured plugin. so, I found another flex3 component that was building correctly and changed my flexmojo version to match that one. It worked. It makes sense that maven would have to keep a in-memory instance of the plugin for every version of that plug-in.

So, try changing your flexmojo version number (I changed from 1.6.1 to 1.5.0)

Thanks
