Hi

Again me.. :) .. is it possible to have multiple mainClass(es) ? Well I've got several stylesheet (.css files) in my project and each should have an own ouput (swf file).

Something like the jar task ...

task sourceJar1(type: Jar) {

baseName = 'ivypublishSource1'
from sourceSets.main.java

}

task sourceJar2(type: Jar) {

baseName = 'ivypublishSource2'
from sourceSets.main.java

}

which generates to jar archives with different names.

   You can only have one mainClass per project, so I'm afraid this isn't possible. The only solution I can think of is to create a seperate project per css file, which is probably a bit overkill.

   Now that I think about it, there's probably another (manual) solution. You could create a custom task where you execute the mxmlc ant task like we do in our AbstractMxmlcTask, something like this:

   task compileCss() {
   ant.java(jar: project.flexHome + '/lib/mxmlc.jar',
           dir: project.flexHome + '/frameworks',
           fork: true) {
               arg(value: '-output=${project.buildDir.path}/myCss.swf')
                           arg(value: '${project.file(/src/main/actionscript/assets).absolutePath}/myCss.css')
           }
   }
   }

   Thanks a lot it worked for me.. except that i had to write it like this. With your version it could not replace the variable ${proejct.buildDir.path}

   task compileCss() {
   ant.java(jar: project.flexHome + '/lib/mxmlc.jar',
           dir: project.flexHome + '/frameworks',
           fork: true) {
               arg(value: "-output=${project.buildDir.path}/myCss.swf")
                           arg(value: "${project.file('/src/main/actionscript/assets').absolutePath}/myCss.css")
           }
   }
   }
