Could we consider moving it? Good topic. I've thought about that too, and I'm not strongly opposed, but right now flex-falcon has no "active" ActionScript in it. IOW, no .AS file in the flex-falcon repo currently runs in anybody's app. IMO, the idea was that FalconJX would output certain patterns based on -js-output-type and various frameworks would implement APIs against those patterns. It isn't clear that org.apache.flex.utils.Language must be the one and only implementation in the world such that FalconJX should bundle it. For example, I think the version in flex-asjs/frameworks/projects/Core will grow to handle XML or maybe allow XML to be plugged in, which not all customers may want. There are already places in the compilers where the -config.xml file can dictate which class the compiler outputs in the patterns, although I don't think Language is currently one of them. So one option is that we add to the compiler an option to change the Language class package and there are -config.xml files tuned for the "No-SWF" workflow some other lighter weight Language class. Also, we could break Language out of Core and into its own Language.swc in the flex-asjs repo if that helps. Thoughts? -Alex
