Flex får öppen källkod

Adobe har beslutat att släppa Flex som open source/öppen källkod. Vad betyder det för oss utvecklare? Ta en titt på vad två personer ur Flex-teamet anser om det här steget: http://www.podtech.net/

Okej, så precis allt kommer allt bli öppen källkod, även Flahs Player? Nej, inte direkt. Här är lista saxad från Rich Tretola:

  • MXML Compiler (mxmlc, compc)
  • AS3 Compiler
  • Flex Command Line Debugger
  • View Source Utilities
  • Web Tier Compiler Modules
  • Automated Testing Framework

Libraries to be open Source

  • Flex Core Components
  • Flex Apollo Components
  • Graphics Tags Libraries
  • Themes (Halo)
  • RPC Libraries (SOAP, HTTP, Remoting)
  • FABRidge
  • SDK automated test engine

What will happen?

  • Public daily builds available (Moxie)

Second Half 2007

Sometime on 2008 (6 to 12 months after Phase 1)

  • Phase 2 governance model implemented*

Phase 1: Welcome Active Contribution

  • Public access to Flex SDK Source
    • Source moved to public repository
    • General public has read-only access to latest source
    • Source, builds, license, etc. hosted by Adobe
    • Alternate access to project through 3rd party host (SourceForge, etc)
  • Anyone can contribute to the Flex SDK
    • Require copyright assignment
    • Submitted through public bug database as attachments to bugs/enhancement requests
    • Contributions must be accompanied by automated tests

Phase 2: Deeper Community Involvment

  • Sub Projects will be considered
    • Proposed and owned by external deveopers
    • Must be cleanly seperate code
    • Hosted in the public repository
    • Distributed alongside Flex SDK
