In a move that appears to be a step away from its Flash platform, Adobe submitted the code of its Flash-based Flex framework of the ASF (Apache Software Foundation) to be handled as a separate project.
While the company has pledged its continued support for Flex - with the underlying technology Flash - Adobe has also suggested that Web application developers in the future would be using HTML5 instead of Flash.
"In the long term, we believe HTML5 will be the best technology for enterprise application development," the blog post stated. "We also know that, currently, Flex has clear benefits for large-scale client projects typically associated with desktop application profiles."
Flex is an SDK (Software Development Kit) which includes a compiler and a number of libraries that can be used to build cross-platform RIA (Rich Internet Applications) that run in Adobe Flash. In 2008, the company placed the SDK open source license.
ASF now vote to decide whether to take on Adobe Flex. Open-source software, if it agrees to deal with technological advances. If it were not, however, may not be long before the Flex comes the Apache project. In 2010, when Google gave the Wave as a possible project, approved by the ASF technology within one month
If you choose to take the ASF technology road map managed by an independent administrative body that operates the rules of Apache. Adobe will continue to devote himself full-time engineers continue to develop and debug the SDK, the company has promised.
Together, Flex, Adobe has provided a series of similar components for the ASF, especially in BlazeDS, a messaging system to transfer data from back-end Flex and Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) server. They also presented an experimental Flash compiler, called Falcon, and selected test tools.
Earlier this month, Adobe announced it would no longer be developing Flash for new mobile devices, and instead focus on HTML5 tools. The HTML5 standard under development offer numerous multimedia capabilities similar to Flash offers now, and requires no plug-in.
Observers have speculated that the withdrawal of the Adobe Flash platform for mobile is the first step in emphasizing Flash to HTML5. Jack Gold, thin, and J. Gold Associates LLC. Adobe has said it faces a daunting task to keep a flash through the increasing number of different platforms, as more than a Windows-based devices hit the market. HTML5, on the other hand can not work on all mobile browsers that support the standard, and do not require specific changes for each of the underlying hardware platform.
