I thought about this problem for quite some time yesterday. Regarding the adt.jar and Air integration. I think the best solution would be to split up the flexmojos maven plugin to have a separate flex and air module. The current mixture does have some disadvantages. In case of Flex being shipped without AIR even more. Will it still be possible to build an Air application using Apache Flex?
Regarding the fontkit. I think I'll have a loot at what it is used for anyway. If the Apache Flex SDK can do without it, perhaps it's usage is some legacy functionality, which I could make optional. I could immagine that this is related to one of the several ways how fonts can be embedded in Flex. I guess it would be ok that if a user tried to use one that depended on fontkit, that Flexmojos could issue an error complaining about the missing fontkit implementation. Currently I don't have any problems getting my handy on a version of fontkit and adt, but they are not part of the SDK and currently Flexmojos uses that exclusively and I don't want to add hard-coded deps to those missing libraries (They are all available im Maven Central ... so this wouldn't be a problem).

Flex-fontkit.jar relies on font processing code used in many Adobe products and is not going to be donated. The build script require Adobe AIR SDK as a pre-requisite. The scripts give you the option of downloading an Adobe Flex SDK and using the flex-fonkit.jar within. > -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
