[Laszlo-dev] seeking ideas for a better approach to command-line lzc

[Benjamin Shine]

I have noticed lots of community and internal trouble using command- 
line lzc. Trouble with the SOLO deploy wizard is also rampant. The  
basic problem here, I think, is that these tools were all originally  
developed as part of a web application, but their current use is not  
inherently webby. The web server needn't be involved at all in  
building a swf or a solo zip.

I'm thinking of making a single executable jar containing everything  
we need to do lzc with just
$ java -jar lzc-4.0b2.jar test.lzx
or an ant task
    <lzc src="test.lzx" runtime="swf7" />

The key here is self-contained, pure java, and architecture neutral.  
Ideas/sacred cows?
