Ok .. so I updated everything and re-built but couldn't see anything improving. 
Digging a little deeper, it seems that a resource seems to have been renamed 
and officially a ILayoutParent no longer exists. Unfortunately the 
monkey-patching using the framework/js/FlexJS directory seems to preventing the 
thing from blowing up and none seems to be noticing something fishy happening. 
How about adding a validator to the ant build making sure the monkey-patches 
are in sync with the rest? Currently it seems several components in core seem 
to refeence stuff only available in the "monkey-patch" directory ... this is 
not good.

So in general I shouldn't need to worry about that directory and all should be 
in the core.swc for example (This would have been where I would be expecting it 
to be).

Ok ... that makes me happy as I was preparing myself for some need to start 
hacking stuff but this way hopefully I won't need to :-)

And regarding the problems of FB ... would it do any harm, if we simply stuffed 
the manifests inside the swcs AND left them in the file system for FB to work 
with? This way real tools could work with a clean structure and wouldn't have 
to adopt hacks needed because of FB being "slightly out of date" ;-) (sorry ... 
couldn't resist ;-) )

All JS is currently copied into js/FlexJS/libs because files found there
override what is found in the SWCs.  This allows folks to monkey-patch
what is in the SWCs.

Regarding ILayoutParent, a recent check-in renamed it so maybe something
isn't fully in sync.

There are different manifests for different component sets.  FlexJS allows
for swapping in different component sets.  Like replacing the basic
component set with a set that leverages JQueryUI components or the
Flat/Bootstrap components.

I agree it is messy.  I don’t think FB knows how to unbundle them from a
SWC.  But if that isn’t true, we can certainly head in that direction.

HTH,
