Well, I might not be remembering something, but I just took a quick look at the Ant scripts. The regular Flex SDK is used for a few things, like: - the history.js for SWFObject but that isn't currently leveraged by any FlexJS code, and we could easily check in a copy of those files. These files are packaged into the binary release. - Creating the fontSWF for the FlatUI font - Using mustella.swc to run the checkintest - Generating ASDoc But, IMO, that means that the FlexJS SDK that you install for Maven or for an IDE really doesn't have any dependencies on the regular Flex SDK. You can run the main build of the SWCs in Maven or Ant without the Flex SDK. As long as you don't try to build the font SWF, package a binary release, run checkin tests or generate the ASDoc. And I'm in the process of getting the Falcon to generate the DITA files so eliminate the ASDoc dependency. Interestingly, this theoretically means that for folks who don't need to build a SWF version of their FlexJS application, we should be able to create a downloadable package that doesn't have any dependencies on the Adobe SDKs (playerglobal.swc and the AIR SDK), although I don't think such a package would work as a Flex SDK in Flash Builder and maybe other IDEs. It isn't high on my priority list to do, but it would prove that FlexJS is truly independent from Adobe. -Alex
