As I was working to integrate the Flex 2 SDK environment into our
automated scripting system I noticed that the mxmlc command line tool
on Mac OS X would switch back to the Finder after each compilation.

This was due to the fact that a java application is launching and on
quit it just returns to the Finder.  This quickly became frustrating
so I looked into things further - including downloading the latest SDK
bundle.

Looking at the bin/mxmlc I noticed that the java was launching without
the "-Djava.awt.headless=true" VM property. This will keep the
compiler from launching in the Dock and taking focus away from other
applications during the build process.

This was my "hack" to make things do what I wanted, however, I am
interested to see if anyone else is running into the same situation
and how they have solved it.
