Thank you for this tutorial, I’ve successfully merged Flex with Maven at last!!!

I just have a question, I’m adding some new Flex components to the echo.mxml file like buttons and text areas just for practice but they doesn’t seem to appear anywhere in the running application…

I’ve recompiled the main project and the -web and -flex projects as well (mvn clean install, mvn clean compile … ) but with no success…. can you give me a little hint please??

Thanks a lot!!

Cheers!

Thought it could help some people since this blog is still easily reached when googlizing “blazeds maven”

Somewhere between step 2 and 5 everybody who gets the error “[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ————————————————————————
[INFO] c:\dev\applications\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0 does not exist. flex.home property must be set.”
needs to change somthing more:
PATH_TO_YOUR_FLEX_SDK_VERSION
in “UNZIPDIR/blaze-poc-flex/profiles.xml”.
Setting PATH_TO_YOUR_FLEX_SDK_VERSION to ${env.FLEX_HOME} and setting this variable in my environment variables in the user variables to the right path did let me finish step 5 (don’t forget to restart the “cmd” if ur os has “Win” in its name, for the new set/created variables to be accessable). So finally after about total 45′ from step 1 to step 6 finally it told me Jetty was started. (Maybe its just me, maybe its because this is the first time I use maven an it downloaded a LOT of things .)
But this is bad: by clicking on the link in step 7 I get a “jetty-powered”
‘ERROR 503

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

RequestURI=/blaze-poc-web/’
maybe caused by those to Warning while executing step 6 (outcome in this order):

Has anybody any idea what went wrong? (I tryed both replacing and inserting the code from “Note2!” in the named file. replacing told methis at step 6:
‘[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ————————————————————————
[INFO] Webapp source directory D:\tmp\_developtest\blaze-poc-v3\blaze-poc-web\target\blaze-poc-web-${project.version does not exist’
)

Sorry for this big comment, I couldn’t find a mailcontoct at this site.
