I'm clear. Sounds awesome! Let me know when the ant script is done, I'll work it into a Jenkins job so we get a fresh overlay for each commit to either Falcon(Jx) or FlexJS. Another advantage, besides being always up to date, is that this way there will be a fixed URL pointing to the latest and greatest overlay.
By the way, did you see my commit for the defaults for the command line arguments to FalconJx? Having those should make the launch files a bit lighter, not having to set these arguments and all.
