  • Spent time with Dong to go over the errors I was receiving with Ingest Manager. Turns out that flexmojos-maven-plugin 3.8 doesn’t allow for duplicate dependency statements in the POM file where v.3.2 did. This is also why Maven Assist would crash when trying to set the POM file. Once duplicates were removed Maven Assist was able to successfully set the POM.
  • Checking out a few other older projects – EdgeUtils and Account Manager. EdgeUtils had a clean POM, but Account Manager ended up throwing the same error. Turns out it too had duplicate dependencies written into its POM file. Once removed, that error disappeared.
  • Discovered a few other gotchas that Dong outlines in his post:
    • Maven generating different Flex project settings for Mac and Windows? –> I will be testing this on my Mac to see if I generate the same project settings as Dong.
    • -locale flag in Compiler settings needs to be empty to compile in Flash Builder/Eclipse? It works fine on Mac, but Windows complains. –> Again, going to check this setting on my Mac to see if true.
