Adobe Flex is now Apache Flex

Adobe has submitted the code for Flex framework along with number of other related components (including Testing Framework, BlazeDS, Falcon compiler) to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) so that it could be managed as an independent project.

The Flex project proposal has been accepted by Apache Software Foundation.

For further details please refer Adobe's official blog: http://blog.everythingflex.com/2011/11/16/apache-flex-update-from-adobe/. However,  Adobe might continue to dedicate its employees full time for further development of the Flex.

Earlier Adobe also announced that it would not develop Flash Player for new mobile devices following the Flash Player 11.1 release for Android and BlackBerry Playbook, and would instead focus on tooling for HTML5, which will eventually provide similar functionality as that of Flash without requiring a separate plug-in.

Adobe will however continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates for existing device configurations.
