Mike, can you apply them to your old repo and generate a patch file that we apply to our repo?

We're going to have a similar problem integrating Falcon in Flash Builder. It seems our options are: 1) Build a business case to try to get Adobe to cut a 4.8 release 2) Get Adobe to donate the Flash Builder plug-in source 3) Write new plugins 4) Get IntelliJ (and others) to integrate with Apache Flex I think these 4 are in order of what is hardest-to-easiest to do with the resources available given the set of active committers we have. The FB plug-ins are not likely to be easy to understand and modify. We'll probably find ourselves wanting to rewrite them anyway. Thoughts? > >Mike >
