Hi Josh, that's very cool! Thanks for sharing! :)
So if I understand correctly, right now you can create the "playerglobal.swc" from maven or ant, but still need to be tested right? or maybe the playerglobal still needs to be filled with the right APIs? As soon as this is done, I think it would be a good idea to generate our own payerglobal.swc and get rid of the Adobe's version in order to give steps to be more independent and OS.
