Hi JD,
I know, you were the first and only person (if I remember) who has been pursuing this issue. I really appreciate it.
I am sure there are issues but wondering, if there is any work going on in that direction.
Thanks again for the comment.

For what it’s worth, I had passed this blogposts around internally in the previous few weeks. I don’t think the decisionmakers have as regular a public contact as us technical folks do, though, so it’s not unusual that we haven’t seen public feedback yet. I’ll bump your post internally, though.
I know that there are signficant regulatory and accounting barriers to opening an online store in a new area. That’s my guess of what the core issue may be, although I don’t have any specific internal knowledge of this area myself.

This is really causing problem to so many developers in India, and I think we got a good base in India
Would love to see some open source tool which I can use to build Flex Application.
I hope someone from Adobe look in to this
Cheers!

Thanks for the sentimental echo, I hope someone from adobe responds.
Yes we can do everything with the SDK, but Flex Builder helps in many ways …. for me the most prominent reason to buy Flex Builder 3 is the profiler but other than that there are many subtle ways in which Flex Builder saves me time.
I would love to get involved with open source flex tools development, my java ain’t that bad either … so let me know.
