I believe the new flexmojos4 (I think that's the version) has changed considerably, so any advice I could provide would most likely be wrong. Try the flexmojos group maybe?

This seems to be a big problem to me, as developers spend hours compiling stuff that never needs to be compiled :( Any idea what I can do to get the incremental compilation working?

I guess that it is with the maven rule about 1 artifact output pr. module, that you have problems? What about a structure like the one I show above? You could have one flex source tree for each output artifact. Like, one for the framework, one for the uielements, and then bundle them in the war-file, which is a whole third source tree/module? If you need each UI element to be its own swf (?) you will of course end up with a lot of modules. If this scales badly for you, you could let the module/source-tree with the UI elements NOT build with a maven flex plugin, but simply use maven-antrun-plugin together with the adobe ant tasks to compile these to several artifacts. You will loose a bit of maven magic though, like installation of the artifacts into the repo after build etc. Would any of that be helpful? Hi, Mike

I have to load these dynamically from the server at run time, based on the user profile, and the only way I've seen so far to do that is to produce individual SWF's for them. From what I've seen of the existing plugins though you might have multiple module inputs, your output is 1 swf or swc or rsl or what have you. Now personally, I'm producing 1 war, so I think I'm ok with the "1 artifact produced per project" philosophy. So, I guess we'll see.
