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.
