>I'm a bit confused by the "generator" and what is quoted below

This may indeed seem at first sight antagonist, on one side, a tool that allows 
the generation of an mavenized SDK from sources and on the other side, sources 
already mavenized.


The generator is an excelent tool that will allow end users (wishing to develop 
at home in Flex / Maven) to build a  mavenized version of the SDK; for 
companies, the team in charge of managing the repositories can also benefits of 
it, this what I personally did, by cons, it is not the norm, usually you get 
artifacts from official ripositories (some companies are very reluctant to 
accept what is not coming from very well known repositories), it goes off by 
snapshot versions and releases, this is not possible without mavenized sources 
execpt if you're allowed to directly deploy your artefacts on it what is not 
the common use.


These approaches address the need to have a mavenized SDK but in different ways 
and for different constraints.
 The Christofer's tool greatly reduces the gap between to have nothing at all 
and already mavenized sources and for that, this is a quick and magic solution 
in this direction, but it is not the most ideal.

Not sure of what you're talking about, OSMF, Textlayout, or something else ?
