Yeah ... I was afraid of that. Perhaps I could whip up a mechanism.
I would strongly suggest not to expect our users to follow any form of 
documentation.

I bet they even woudln't read stuff, even if the text was written in big, fat, 
blinking neonlights :-(

That's why I try to make stuff work without expecting the user to follow any 
documentation.

I just got Falcon to dump resources to the bin/js-debug dir using the 
Reflection tool. I'll invest a few hours to code a manual replacement for that 
somehow. Then we won't have to bother with any license crap.

OK, I get it now.  Is there a reason we can’t or shouldn't extract to the
file system?  Are there other alternatives like making sure the Closure
jar is downloaded to a known location and/or has a particular name?

I would prefer to not have Apache Flex releases use code with licenses
that have “bad” words in it, which appears to be the case for the
https://code.google.com/p/reflections/ library.  I would not like the
Installer to have to offer up those bad words for approval by the
customer.  And, if we decide to bundle that jar some day, our LICENSE file
will have to have those same bad words in it.
