I do quite a bit of building flex apps and libraries using ant - but only for production and nightly development builds using Hudson. One thing myself and our team have noticed is that ant is very slow to build anything in comparison to Flex/Flash builder's built in compiler. Starting a new instance of Java each time you run ant takes a while whereas FB already has the session open. You can get around this using the fcsh system but in reality you're better off not turning off the standard FB builder when building or testing locally and only using ant when deploying to your dev or prod server. We also combine our ant build scripts with the flex-config.xml files to simplify the cross-over of the two build types. Keep up the good work! Hi great post.
