Can you use a SWF as a dependency for a Flex Mojos Maven build

Question

I have a maven project with flex-mojos 3.1.0. Can I have a module with swf packaging and configure a dependency on it in another module? When I do, I get a compilation error.

project    
| - module1:swf  
| - module2:swf

module2/pom.xml:

<parent>
    <groupId>com.mygroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>project</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.mygroup</groupId>
        <artifactId>module1</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>swf</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I'm running into the exact same issue, however my problem doesn't manifest itself as a dependency identification error, rather it manifests itself as a compilation error of an underlying object in module2. I get: "Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: " — Randyaa, Dec 26 '12 at 19:29

If you need module-to-module dependency to ensure correct build order for your modules then you can simply create a parent pom for both modules and arange build order in it.

Fast forward 2014, this is possible unless I mis understand something basic about the question. But I have been doing this for a while now. – R. van Twisk Aug 29 '14 at 15:57
