Hi, 

We can consider doing this differently in the next release.  In some
respects the SDK is included in LCDS as a bonus because the WAR files
have everything you need.  But I realize that may not match up with
your development model, so we can consider going back next time.

 fully self-contained *Flex + LCDS* SDK you need to copy the fds.swc
 (why didn't they rename that too?) from an exploded flex.war into your
 unzipped Flex SDK directory.
 
 In the old version I just had to give the FDS Linux installer to our
 build tools team and they could install it very simply. Now it looks
 like I'm going to have to come up with a hacked-together install
 package for them.. just extra effort for no real benefit as far as I
 can see.
 
 Is there any reason why we can't go back to the FDS 2.0.x structure of
 having a full Flex + FDS SDK as part of the installer?
 
 Cheers,
 Neale.

  Bwuh !?! I assume this is because the classes were only ever
intended to
  be used by FDS-based applications ?
  
  But effectively dropping public classes in a minor point update
can't be
  good, can it ?
