Html Wrapper Mojo
Hi folks,
This week we make public the first release of HtmlWrapperMojo.
This guy is used to generate the html to open flex applications, like what is done by flex builder.
To enable it, just add this new mojo on plugins section:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>info.flex-mojos</groupId> <artifactId>html-wrapper-mojo</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>wrapper</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
A simple hello world can be view here.
It’s very simple to use, and has no need of configurations do get it running.
It support all standard templates made by Adobe. Just need to define templateURI parameter. Valid values to templateURI:
class:client-side-detection
class:client-side-detection-with-history (default)
class:express-installation
class:express-installation-with-history
class:no-player-detection
class:no-player-detection-with-history
You can even point to a file using “file:///etc/hosts”. This file must be a zip and must have index.template.html inside it.
When using custom templates you may need to set custom parameters on your index.template.html. This can be done by configuring parameters:
<parameters>
<swf>${build.finalName}</swf>
<width>100%</width>
<height>100%</height>
</parameters>
All required parameters to Adobe’s template are defined by default. But you can overwrite they at any time.
Any suggestions?

This is nice, I think, so what do you do with it? If it does the same thing as Flex builder why do I need it? How do I use it? How does it work? A little more info would be welcome, thank you.

Well, if you use Maven it’s a good think.
If you don’t and don’t know what Maven is, I recommend you take some time to learn it. http://maven.apache.org/
It’s a great tool for enterprise environments.

@ColdFusion:
The advantage is being able to build your entire application in an automated fashion, for example with a build server. It is difficult or impossible to automate a build with Flex Builder. The flex-mojos plugin for Maven is an alternative to using Ant and Antennae for Flex builds, and this adds one of the few remaining things that Flex Builder can do that you couldn’t do with Maven and flex-mojos.
Nice work VELO!

There are some projects that customize their index.template.html and associated files, and keeping those zipped up seems a hassle if you constantly modify them.
It would be nice if you could point to an html-template folder in your project and have it work with that instead of a zipped archive.

Sure, add a issue on google project site.

Why not just let it point to the index.template.html file by itself? Why does it have to be in a zip?

I think the problem is in paths with spaces.

Sorry, I’m new to Maven and mojos. I can’t seem to find the doc for the html-wrapper-mojo at http://docs.flex-mojos.info/ What configuration options does it support?

Hi Arun,
Take a look here:

@velo: Thanks! I guess the link for html-wrapper-mojo at http://docs.flex-mojos.info/ needs to be updated to point to http://docs.flex-mojos.info/html-wrapper-mojo/wrapper-mojo.html
