Ok … so the Maven build now produces a flexjs-sdk-description.xml

<flexjs-sdk-description>
  <name>Apache Flex: FlexJS 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT FP20.0 AIR20.0 en_US</name>
  <version>0.8.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <build>201701252211</build>
  <flavor>default</flavor>
  <default-locale>en_US</default-locale>
  <flash>
    <version>20.0</version>
  </flash>
  <air>
    <version>20.0</version>
  </air>
</flexjs-sdk-description>

And I took the opportunity to comment out a line in the team-page example as it 
was breaking the build …

    I never said to drop support for FlashBuilder. All I wanted, is to have the 
default distribution to be clean and to apply the FB hack on demand if 
necessary.
    But I’m ok with a flexjs specific descriptor. I hate doing things sloppily 
and definitely hate hacks like the one needed to support FB.

        Hi Alex,
        
        But all the IDEs are alive and are being maintained. Flash Builder is 
the
        only one that's but been maintained.
        
        But I'd be ok with an additional descriptor if more people here think we
        should keep legacy stuff in a new product.
        
        
        I think we should maintain support for FB as much as possible.
        
        A lot of Flex developers already use it, so supporting that IDE would 
be a
        good idea to increase adoption of FlexJS.
        
        Thanks,
        Om

        We don't have control over many other IDEs as well, so a change here
        requires every other IDE to change.  Seems like we have more control 
over
        IntelliJ.
        
        What if we introduce a new file called flexjs-sdk-descriptor.xml and 
leave
        the old one with the hack for legacy support.  Then all IDE vendors can
        move to checking the new file when they have time?
        
        Thoughts?
