The major obstacle stopping this from happening is that although the compiled files *should* work just fine on another server, the idea of compile once, run anywhere for Java simply isn't as true as it might be. Different versions of the JVM won't necessarily run the same class files in the same way, or even at all.
My understanding is that there are just too many ways that this could go wrong for Macromedia to be comfortable supporting it right now, but I think they're working on it.
