How do I set the theme using Flexmojos?

When compiling using flexmojos I get the warning:

[WARNING] No themes are explicitly defined in the section or in any scope="theme" dependencies. Flexmojos is now attempting to figure out which themes to include. (to avoid this warning you should explicitly state your theme dependencies)

[WARNING] Adding spark.css theme because spark.swc was included as a dependency

I have tried adding:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.flex.framework</groupId>
    <artifactId&开发者_运维知识库gt;spark</artifactId>
    <type>swc</type>
    <scope>theme</scope>
    <version>${flex.sdk.version}</version>
</dependency>

But I just get an error:

com.adobe.flex.framework:spark:swc must be one of [compile, runtime, system] but is 'theme'

I just want to use the standard Spark theme.

Thanks

I had the same issue (adding theme worked but it produces ugly warnings). I fixed it by explicitly referencing the theme's CSS file by:

1. Add the following to your flexmojos configuration:

   <themes>
       <theme>spark-theme-${flex.sdk.version}.css</theme>
   </themes>
   

2. Add the theme as a dependency:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.adobe.flex.framework</groupId>
       <artifactId>spark-theme</artifactId>
       <version>${flex.sdk.version}</version>
       <type>css</type>
   </dependency>
   

3. pull the dependency in to your output directory. There are several ways to do this, including a simple ant copy. I chose to use the maven dependency plugin:

   <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
           <execution>
               <id>copy-theme-file</id>
               <phase>process-resources</phase>
               <goals>
                   <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
               </goals>
               <configuration>
                   <outputDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</outputDirectory>
                   <includeArtifactIds>spark-theme</includeArtifactIds>
               </configuration>
           </execution>
       </executions>
   </plugin>
   

Following these steps copies the spark-theme's CSS file to the output directory (/target/classes in most cases) and explicitly refers to the CSS file in in the flexmojos configuration.

This completely got rid of all theme warnings for me. I hope this helps someone.

I am using Flex-Mojos 4.1-beta, and themes "just work" ™ I cannot vouch for earlier versions.

Taking an example, pull in the spark theme (part of the SDK):

   <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.flex.framework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spark</artifactId>
        <version>${flex.version}</version>
        <scope>theme</scope>
        <type>swc</type>
    </dependency>

Now, pull in the theme which I've earlier, myself defined:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>ie.hunt</groupId>
        <artifactId>theme-library</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>swc</type>
        <scope>theme</scope>
    </dependency>

And the 'spark' theme is applied, then overridden by the rules I've defined in my own theme swc. Nothing else to do.

Using the 'themes' subsection of 'plugin'->'configuration' creates unhelpful Null Pointer Exceptions, e.g:

 <configuration>
 <themes>
  <theme>spark.css</theme>
 <themes>
 ...
 </configuration>

Error output:

 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-plugin:4.1-beta:compile-swc (default-compile-swc) on project theme-library: java.lang.NullPointerException -> [Help 1]

Or, more simple with this answer (just think to declare it in your dependencyManagement and dependencies tags of your pom
