Like the coremedia-application-maven-plugin, the jangaroo-maven-plugin defines a Maven extension with a custom packaging type jangaroo, which introduces a custom lifecycle. This lifecycle binds the standard phases known from the jar packaging type to the corresponding goals for compiling ActionScript to JavaScript, running JooUnit tests and packaging the compilation result. Because Jangaroo artifacts and dependencies are of type jar, transitive dependencies are automatically added to the compile scope, making it easy to create and maintain modularity throughout your project.
