This needs to be updated to reflect the fact that it is now an Adobe product.

The "See also" list

OK, I just "sanitized" the list a bit. I just felt it covered so many different technologies and even minor companies, and also missed the new Microsoft Silverlight platform that directly competes with Adobe Flex.

It was:

XUL
Thin client
XAML
Flash Player
OpenLaszlo
Nexaweb
MXML
Adobe Apollo
Morfik

It's now:

Adobe Apollo
Microsoft Silverlight
OpenLaszlo
Morfik

It actually started with me wishing to just add Silverlight to the list because it was relevant, and ended up with me trimming it to only cover stuff more directly related to Adobe Flex and not e.g. XAML that is only a detail that's used in Silverlight. Leaving this note up here because I understand it can maybe seen as a bit harsh, and it can of course still see improvements. I was unsure about leaving Morfik in, but it's at least a development environment. Some of the stuff in there was also frequently linked in the article, like Flash and MXML, so I really didn't see much of a reason to keep those. -- Northgrove 10:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flex Builder

Flex Builder is based on Eclipse, an open source IDE. Why then isn't Flex Builder open source? Isn't Adobe obligated to providing source code for any improvements they make to Eclipse? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.35.214 (talk) 07:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flex Builder is not open source, but it is provided free for education. here Lightblade (talk) 03:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
