Christophe Herreman commented on FLEX-35:
-----------------------------------------
I agree that this would be good. Although it is clearly stated in the README
that ant-contrib is a dependency, I saw some people at 360Flex that failed to
build the SDK because they didn't set this up (and didn't read the README).
There is also not a clear error showing that ant-contrib is missing. So if we
can get rid of this extra dependency, I think we should do it.
