Hi Piotrz,
great you finaly have this working :)
1) As I understand code each component is consistent with "Logic" + "CSS -
> appearance" - Am I understand correctly?
>
I think you refer if I'm making a "Card" component since there's an MDL
one...yes.
There's some standard controls, like Button, CheckBox or RadioButton...but
for example in MDL there's no TextInput, I think they call it TextField, so
maybe we should rename our MDL component to "TextField"?
For Others like Card or Badge, there's no flexjs counterpart, so...I stick
with that...
But what about MDL Table...should it be a DataGrid....I'm trying to discern
this days things like this...
a MDL List, could be a js:List... and so with others, we should estimate as
we go...

This classes comes from the basic needs of MDL and are added in the
index.html template (resources/mdl-js-index-template.html
see in the pom.xml for line
:
<htmlTemplate>${basedir}/src/main/resources/mdl-js-index-template.html</htmlTemplate>
so is the basic html with some MDL required lines in it.
I think we as well insert some new vars to customize colors when
build...but I didn't see already if we could do this. Maybe we should ask
to other guys here about how to tweak this. if there are already compiler
support, or index.html support

I'm focusing in HTML output, since Flash will need more work (make the MDL
look in flash and components are needs more work in general). So my
approach is to have the MPV (minimum product viable) of a MDL flexjs
component set and from there evolve. If you think flash is important, hope
you could grab the torch here and handle the effort.
Until some weeks, flash output has no point for me since we have old
flex...but then I talk with people that makes me turn 180º. HTML in mobile
has poor performance, and we need go native. I don't know how flash effort
is going on, but I think if we go stage3d (like feathers) then flash output
would be very important.

Yes, as I get time, I'm porting the components I see here:
https://getmdl.io/components
This is my actual RoadMap, I'm as well attracted to port Bootstrap
component...
I think this is our first main step to get flexjs have a great look and
feel so more people would join us.

I think VSCode is a good starting point, but is a IDE in development. Hope
Josh would make live latest works on MXML, and other things. Meanwhile is
not a speed IDE, but for me is working great.

I setup two projects to respond to CTRL+CMD+B, to build with maven:
MaterialDesignLite and MDLExample.
As I add a new component to MaterialDesignLite.swc I build only that
pressing CTRL+CMD+B in VSCode (until now I had some Terminal window open in
a OS X space and run mvn clean install)
Then I go to MDLExample and instantiate the new component and again
CTRL+CMD+B and open in browser to see results.
I think is a pretty fast workflow

Great Piotrz, keep it coming, I think there's much to make here, and things
are in a state where we could make a different with some help and
dedication :)
Thanks!
