The binary/non source SDK gives (not unexpectedly) the following error when 
imported into Flash Builder and used in a project.
unable to open 
'/Users/justinmclean/Downloads/apache-flex-sdk-4/frameworks//playerglobal.swc'

playerglobal.swc is required for the compiler to run and not just build the 
compiler. Probably best to add this to the REAME so it's clear for people who 
just want to use rather than compile Apache Flex.

I not sure that an environment variable is the best to indicate the path to 
playerglobal.swc but it shoudl be placed in prescribed place in the SDK folder. 
Why? Well if you have multiple versions of the Apache SDK configured in Flash 
Builder which use different versions of playerglobal.swc it going to make life 
a little difficult.

Anyway once that issue is sorted I was able to compile and run a large 
enterprise style application using the SDK - yea! The are some layout issues 
(overlapping buttons) which I assume are due to the font issue. (Perhaps this 
needs to be noted in the README?)

One things that's a concern is that I noticed the compilation taking longer 
with 4.8 than 4.6. I'll do some timing later in the day.

Justin

PS Any chance future zips could have a pre release version number in them 
rather than just 4? It could get confusing fast.
