You may want to stop that - see below.

While it "compiles" I get a lot of warning like "bootstrap class path not set" 
and "x.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations", look like some of the files 
are not UTF8 ("unmappable character for encoding UTF8") and that's also causing 
issues. Also while it say it compiles it actuall has several fatal errors along 
the way - for example (and this happens several times)
 [MergeXML] [Fatal Error] remoting-config.aftermods.xml:1:1: Premature end of 
file.
 [MergeXML] ** Parsing error, line 1, uri 
file:/Users/justinmclean/Documents/flex-blazeds/qa/apps/qa-manual/WEB-INF/flex/mergeGenerated/remoting-config.aftermods.xml
 [MergeXML]  Premature end of file.

Also  ant checkintests fails.

It also concerns me we have a large number of jars checked into Git, some may 
or may not be Apache licensed.

And I also think it needs a bit of an IP scrub, from a glance at the images 
these all need to be checked:
AIR icon issue, blazeDS logo, servidium logo?, Apache camel missing TM, log4J 
book cover, cyberlab logo, duke logo, java world award, hsqldb, spring java 
application framework, jakarta common HTTP client, icons_ ??? where did these 
come from?, Apache Jakarta (no longer a project)?, logfactor5 logo, apache XML 
logo missing trademark?, commons logging missing trademark?, maven logos 
(including a maven sucks logo!), build by ant logo, open JMS logo, Flex 
metadata logo, old (tiny) pdf logo,  Callabnet logo, SourceCast logo, 
sharp1.jpg, source forge logo, tomcat logo, Zaurus logo.

(Most of these may not be in the source package but they probably shouldn't be 
in an Apache repo)

Rather importantly It's missing LICENCE and NOTICE files.

And there probably quite a few other things, for instance I've not done a rat 
check on it.

IMO we should not be making it available as a snapshot until at least some of 
the above is addressed.

Thanks,
Justin
