Just to make this conversation a bit clearer: there is no FlexJS jar. The Java part of FlexJS - which is the cross compiler - is named FalconJX.
FlexJS is the combination of FalconJX, the AS SDK, the JS SDK as well as the Google Closure Compiler, which is an external dependency. In addition to these parts, FlexJS needs to be installed as an overlay of a regular Flex SDK, which in turn is kinda ‘stripped and rebuild’ to accommodate the various FlexJS parts. Finally the whole process is tied together and made accessible for the end user by offering a few .launch files to be used with Flash Builder. Maybe Alex can explain this a bit better, he is the lead architect of FlexJS. I just keep busy hacking FalconJX to get VF2JS (my own hobby alternative to FlexJS) off the ground.
