What is the canonical best practice to include dependancies that aren’t managed by Bower? For example, we user Redactor for WYSIWYG text areas. Being that Redactor is a commercial plugin and not open source, it’s not publicly available on Github. I’d like to still be able to use an `app.import()` statement in my Brocfile to take advantage of the Broccoli environment builds. ---

@ToddSmithSalter In ember-cli 0.0.43 bower dependencies was moved to a different directory to allow exactly this kind of stuff. You can put the code for Redactor under vendor and use app.import(‘vendor/redactor/…’) Release notes [https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/releases/tag/v0.0.43](https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/releases/tag/v0.0.43) ---
