Flex Compiler Constants

There is plenty of information on the web talking about how to specify constants for the Flex compiler so I've compiled a cheat sheet of the essentials:

• Constant values can be defined in main-config.xml for the flex/mxml compiler so that they don't have to be edited in eclipse preferences.
• Values for String constants should have quotation marks around them
  
  • Whether you are defining strings in your maven's pom.xml file to manage maven builds:
    <property>
         <name>MY_CONSTANTS::someStringConstant</name>
         <value>"Hello World"</value>
    </property>
  • Or you are using *-config.xml file to manage Eclipse builds:
    <define>
         <name>MY_CONSTANTS::someStringConstant</name>
         <value>"Hello World"</value>
    </define>
• Values for Boolean constants DO NOT need any quotations.
  
  • pom.xml
    <property>
         <name>MY_CONSTANTS::someBooleanConstant</name>
         <value>true</value>
    </property>
  • *-config.xml
    <define>
         <name>MY_CONSTANTS::someBooleanConstant</name>
         <value>true</value>
    </define>
• More to come...
