Hi Om,

Well I think this would definitely be a cool thing. Then the user will have 
several ways of getting a mavenized FDK (Intaller, Manually Mavenizing, 
Mavenizer integrated into the maven-flex-plugin and by using the 
auto-download-feature of the maven-flex-plugin (the one I was talking to Alex 
about)).

But before officially adding this, I'd like to modify the mavenizer to 
correctly mavenize the Air compiler artifacts (adt.jar, smaili.jar and 
baksmali.jar)
 
Chris

Chris, I meant to reply earlier, but forgot.

The installer already downloads everything while displaying the required 
licenses along the way.  Do you think having a "Mavenize" button at the end 
would be a good idea?  We could just call your mavenize ant script from the AIR 
app.  Please let me know if this is something you would be interested.
 I would be glad to help you out with this.

Thanks,
Om
