Adobe goes OPEN SOURCE

Yesterday(25/02/2008) I found an interesting thing.Adobe Started open source projects and also started a new site for the open source projects.I am expecting more from adobe .because i love to work with open source projects.The important thing in the adobe open source is ,they are converted the flex 3 sdk open source.And also they developing more application and ide for Linux platform also.

Now Flash media server,Flex 3 eclipse plugin ,Blazeds were available for the linux platform also.This is good sign for the developers in linux platform.Actually i am searching to work Flash in linux.I have tried with wine.But it need more system resource and it generate errors as well.Now i dreaming about to work Adobe applications in Linux platform.:D

This is a good news for the developers .Currentle adobe has been open the source of 9 projects.In this projects i think flex and blazeds were more important.The open source projects were;

1.BlazeDS
"BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex and Adobe AIR applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences." :adobe.
I have tried this with Flex and i am very happy to say that this is nice .I am thinking about my experience with the blazeds and flex.

2.Flex 3 SDK
"Adobe® Flex 3 is a cross platform, open source framework for creating rich Internet applications that run identically in all major browsers and operating systems.":adobe.

3.Flash Ajax Video Component

4.Generic Image Library

5.Adobe Media Gallery

6.Adobe Source Libraries
