Hi everyone, I hope everyone has had a chance to check out the new hub APIs! I just wanted to pass along some feedback I got from an add-on reviewer. It appears my build script was out of date, and that (as of Firefox 4!) add-on developers are discouraged from including jar files in XPIs [1]. I updated my hub-boilerplate [2] build script and README to address this, so I'd encourage you to use this new version instead.
Please feel welcome to make pull requests on my hub-boilerplate add-on if you find any other problems or potential improvements.
