It's not possible to add multiple compileFlex tasks to one project

[rklaren]

Unless I missed something, it's not possible to add multiple compileFlex tasks to one project?

Our usecase is that we build our production .swf and another .swf for integration testing with RIATest, this step adds another dependency on an agent that is used by the test framework. Currently it seems I have to move this to another directory to build the file for the integration tests.

We've been discussing something similar in #77
Is that what you're after?

I guess it's in the same direction, I like the extra configuraton, but I'd also like to add my own. It would be cool if gradlefx would feel more like the default java plugin.

e.g. I'd like to do stuff like:

configuration {
    integrationTest.extendsFrom internal
}

dependencies {
    internal 'org:resthttpservice:1.0@swc'
    integrationTest 'com.riatest:riatestagent:3.7.0@swc'
}

// default compileFlex would compile production version
compileFlex {
   output = "prod-${project.version}.swf"
}

// somehow link the integrationTest dependencies to this task, by name convention
task integrationTestCompile( type: org.gradlefx.tasks.compile.Compile ) {
   output = "integrationtest-${project.version}.swf"
}

I've just written a blog post that describes a decent workaround for this issue:
