Maven script to build Flex portlet

As you might have seen in the last few days i am working on using Flex inside the portlet and i did built quite a few portlets to demonstrate how that works.

The building and deployment was very painful, first i had to make changes in the .mxml export it as .swf from Flex builder into the WebContent folder of my portlet then export portlet with new .swf and install it on portal.

In order to simplify this process i built a mvn script which can be used to build .mxml in .swf, copy it into the WebContent folder, package the portlet and then deploy it in the pluto, this is the script that i am using.
