The specific files Velo uses to update the Sonatype repos are proprietary. Everything else is open. Installing your own FDK is an advanced topic, and Velo was bit severely in the past when those who didn't understand what it was doing did it wrong and caused all sorts of support problems. It's very hard to troubleshoot Maven and Flexmojos if the FDK is messed up, and Velo wasted lots of time in the past trying to help people figure out what went wrong. That is why he doesn't want the process to be well-known. Not due to proprietary concerns, but support and sanity concerns. I have installed several FDKs myself (using the old way, not the new bundle publisher). If you are careful, understand what it is doing, and pretty good at Maven debugging on your own, you should be able to do it on your own just fine. We will need to install another custom FDK in a few months, and I'll learn bundle publisher then and do it myself. But you have to have a really really solid understanding of how Maven and Flexmojos use the Flex SDK, and how it's structured. The bundle-publisher is open source, but poorly documented, but you can dig through the source and figure out how to make it work. If I can figure out a "safe" way to share that, and get Velo to agree, then I'll share it on the Wiki. If you really need custom FDKs and don't have the time or money to do it yourself or pay someone to set them up, then the other option is to switch to Servebox, which supports a locally installed Flex SDK model, or convince Velo to add a similar option to Flexmojos (not likely). Or you can try and get Adobe to release the FDK themselves in a Maven repo, so we don't have to do it for them.
