Potomac tries to take the modularity in OSGi and the UI composition from the Eclipse RCP and bring it to Flex. It isn't an easy task - we've had to write a fair bit of tooling on top of FlexBuilder to help accomplish it.
One of the most exciting features of Potomac is its metadata support (Flex metadata ~= Java annotation). All extensions and extension points are defined in code via metadata. Its been great to see this feature come together. Contributions to the UI are handled via [Page], [Folder], and [Part] tags but also other features like [Inject] are also based on extension points. After seeing the results, it might have been better to rename the feature to more generic since its become more like a generic metadata processor.
