Hi there,

Just been looking at how The Flex SDK framework can work easily with a Flash 
Builder project so it's easily to generate patches patches. It's not straight 
forward (not totally unexpected) unless you checkout and create the project in 
a certain order. Hopefully this will save someone some time.

The major issues is that Flash Builder doesn't support nested projects and 
subclipse needs the SVN as the base directory in a project (ie not in a sub 
directory called frameworks). It's quite possible that other IDEs don't have 
these issues. Trying tricks like like linking framework directory between 2 
project cause issues with paths in the build scripts.

This is what you need to do:

1. Create a new FB project (via the import SVN wizard) checking out from truck 
(and not from trunk/frameworks!).

2. Download (if you can) or obtain a copy of the open source Flex 4.6 SDK.

3. Copy all directories from the OS SDK into you FB project except the 
frameworks directory.

4. You can now use SVN from within FB to compare changes you make and generate 
patches.

Note that these instructions are slightly different to what is contained in the 
current README.txt.

It would probably be a good idea to place these instructions up on developer 
section of web site and include instructions for other IDE's as well. 

Thanks,
Justin
