Hi
I've been unable to export release builds of any AIR projects when using a Mac installation of Flash Builder 4. I can run the AIR apps within the IDE, but I keep getting the following error when exporting: "One or more errors were found while trying to build the release version. Unable to export."
The weird thing is that I can export the exact same AIR projects using my Windows 7 copy of FB4 just fine, without any errors.
Details of the Mac installation:
OSX 10.5.8
Flash Builder 4 plug-in version, v4.0.1, on Eclipse v3.4.2
I performed a fresh install of FB4 today (before anyone suggests it 
) but to no avail.
The error log - I wasn't sure what to copy, so just took everything that had the right time entry:

Hi Chris
Thanks for your reply.
I had already seen that post, and the answers were not applicable to me. But thankfully I have found the solution now!
I Googled the error message: "org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/ String", and came across the following bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/alkwarel/issues/detail?id=10
As suggested in the link above, I deleted the xerces.jar located in user.home/Library/Java/Extensions/. I then cleaned my project, and FB4 for Mac finally exported the release build!
That bug has been annoying me for MONTHS. I'm so happy it's fixed now! 
All the best,
Zabeen
