Adobe Open-Source Move Sets Showdown with Microsoft

Adobe Systems has announced its plans to open-source its Flex Web development framework.

The San Jose, Calif., company is releasing its Adobe Flex source code to the open-source community to enable developers throughout the world to tap the capabilities of Flex and participate in the ongoing development of the technology.

Flex is a framework for building cross-operating system RIAs (rich Internet applications) for the Web and enabling new Adobe Apollo applications for the desktop, the company said.

“We’ll be open-sourcing Flex with the next release of the technology, which is code-named Moxie,” said Jeff Whatcott, vice president of product marketing in Adobe’s Enterprise and Developer Business Unit.

Whatcott said Adobe will introduce the first public pre-release version of “Moxie” in June, “and we’ll be providing public daily builds of the technology starting at that time. We’ll also be launching a public bug database, so it’ll look, act and feel like an open-source project” even then.
