James, 

What I was trying to say was that the Apache project will address improvements 
to Apache releases, not Adobe's. So in short, Apache has no plans to look at 
Adobe Flex 4.6, because we have no stake at all in Adobe Flex. 

But I am certainly looking at getting the first Apache release prepared for 
Maven, so if all goes well...

You will see in the reply on the Adobe forum that Adobe have no plans for maven 
and see it as Apache's beef.

Introducing native maven support (or ant *with* ivy) into Flex would be great 
but things have been limbo for ages and there are lots of improvements between 
4.5 (current flexmojos target) and 4.6, not least in the mobile stuff.

The practical steps of getting 4.6 working with flexmojos are almost there; 
someone has been through the pain of getting the SDK uploaded into a Sonatype 
repo and flexmojos can be recompiled to support it.

Can Apache Flex not invite Marvin Froeder (the Flex mojos author) to join 
Apache?

Is flexmojos license the issue? Can JP Morgan lob some funding over to Marvin 
Froeder :-)
