This is weird - according to the Adobe AIR JavaScript docs, applications can access the local filesystem, clipboard, and network, but doesn't let you shell out and invoke another process!!! Why bother with that restriction? That's like making sure the cash register is all locked up tight - and then keeping the money in a jar sitting on a nearby counter top.
(I want to write a little app that will invoke Ant. Do I have to write my own Adobe AIR to do this? Or should I wait for the Prism Project? If I do write my own as per this earlier post, I think I'll call it "Eclipse DIRT", roughly based on the GWTShell.)
