In our source tree we have one are we often call "thirdparty" where things we consider a black box go. They do get checked into source control, but we dont touch them. So like the tree might look like
/flex /jsp /java /thirdparty/flex/webapp /thirdparty/axis/lib (etc) Now during the build we copy the /thirdparty/flex/webapp into a temp directory, we compile the mxml, java, jsp etc and copy into the temp directory, then WAR the whole beastie up. You could argue either way about the Flex webapp in source control, but I like knowing every project and every build is using a consistant flex version. Like, we got a few hot fixes for the proxy and other things. I like knowing we have the latest and greatest of that, and being able to roll back off a hotfix if we find it breaks soemthing.
