I'll spend some time poking at it to see if I can get it to work without the
copy. Because I see Falcon as SDK independent, if co-location is required
to make it work, that doesn't seem very independent.
I ran MXMLArrayNodeTests and got:
Class not found
org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.tree.mxml.MXMLArrayNodeTests
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.tree.mxml.MXMLArrayNodeTests
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
Gordon, what test did you run that gave the errors you saw?
