Can you provide more details about the font encoding and patched jar issues?

Subject:AW: Maven and Apache Flex 4.1x


I have just initiated the release process for the Mavenizer.
This is now used by flexmojos to auto-download air and flashplayer releaded 
binaries.
Still haven't found a solution for the font-encoding. This is the last part 
that would need confirmation and downloading. Alternatively I could reference 
artifacts from Velo's old Adobe repos 
(http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/flexgroup/com/adobe/flex/compiler/flex-fontkit/)
 but I think that's a hack and it would require users to add that repo to their 
builds.

But still we have quite a lot of patched binary dependencies. I don't know if 
we should publish these jars. I'd rather investigate what the changes were and 
why a patched version is needed. Eventually this is no longer needed and we 
could use the official version. I allways feel bad when encountering patched 
libs :-(

Could use a little help with that library investigation ;-)

But as soon as that's sorted out I think we could start publishing our parts.

Chris
