For example, compatibility with Flash Builder was probably not a requirement for Randori. But, IMO, it is for FlexJS, and I would say that even if I wasn’t an Adobe employee. It also appears that deploying RBLs essentially bypasses the need for an SDK Installer. For FlexJS, it still wants to leverage the Adobe SDKs so having a single bundle from Apache is still not possible. Anyway, the SWC format supports file bundling already, so I think I am just going to leverage that. Right now there aren’t any other files that need to be handled that aren’t associated with a SWC, and any we find are likely to be bundled into the release distributions and handled by the Installer. I sure wish I could find a way to get you and Fred involved. I don’t remember why IntelliJ doesn’t officially support FlexJS, but helping IntelliJ get that right would be awesome. Thanks for the info, -Alex
