"in my understanding FB uses the same low-level (protocol) code as FDB, but a bit different high-level wrapper. Since FB is not open-sourced I don't know what is the difference."
Yeah, probably the reason why it doesn't take the "-include-file" compiler arguments into account which sucks :) Even worse for the "-output" argument where it spit out an error even from a xml config file which make impossible to rename the built swf. Happily, it works perfectly with IJ :) Btw, another point, I wrote something on the Jetbrains dev already but: Is it in your plan to add RSL support into IntelliJ ? I mean extract the swf from the swc to a user location and compute digest as does the RSLMojoCreator class from flexmojos. This lack of feature force us to build via maven only or to have a profile where everything is merged into memory extending the compilation time a lot.
