Talk:Apache Flex

message: 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)
thread_title: The "See also" list

message: "Although popular as a rich internet application development environment, Flex is not without its detractors. In February, 2009, analyst firm CMS Watch criticized the use of Flex for enterprise application user interfaces [1]."
This refers to a fluffy article. Perhaps this sentence can be removed from the Wikipedia page?
: Agreed. None of "they, them" refers to Flex; rather, in general, rich clients, virtual machines, proprietary platforms, coupled MVC.  The thesis -- "consistent, cross-browser compatibility... is hard and expensive. But why does that mean you the customer must give up simplicity and supportability?" -- answers itself!

message: Speaking of fluffy, "proven" sounds like one of those things a marketing person inserts. Does it really contribute anything here?

message: Adobe Was Donated And Copy It To Apache, Thats All. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rolandhelper (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 June 2012‎
:The software was donated by Adobe to the Apache Foundation. It's not a fork or a mere "copy". Adobe have ceased development of Flex and have handed it over to the Apache Foundation project for future development. This was a non-trivial process.
:Version 4.6 was the last version released by Adobe. Version 4.8 was released by Apache in July. That was the first release by Apache and is a "parity release" with version 4.6 (i.e. the two are identical). All future released will by by Apache.
