mxmlc

My project allows users to create custom css for our flex app.

In regards to compiling the CSS into SWFs on the server side:

Should I use the flex2.compiler.css.Compiler class in mxmlc-3.5.0.12683.jar?

Or

Should I invoke mxmlc from Runtime.getRuntime().exec()?

The css.Compiler class is not very well documented. Does anyone have any examples that use this?

For the Runtime exec method, what is the best way to package mxmlc into the maven build so its available to the server at runtime?
