Adobe Flex: what is the impact on the java universe?

[Thomas G. Marshall]

I'm trying hard to get a handle on something that I've recently stumbled
upon.

Adobe Flex seems to be a fairly large facility, based upon Flash, that has
all kinds of enterprise capable "Rich Internet Applications". As you can
imagine, Flash all by itself really can be glitzy, but this is different.

I'm not entirely sure I understand just where Flex is 1. going, and 2. meant
to go.

Any thoughts would be appreciated on this.

Thanks

Yep. Flex looks really good.

Flex is very quick to load and can connect to Java EE Services easily.

The Flex community is very active and Adobe can provide support and
training.

Actually, I am in a process to select a tool for RIA develpment and Flex is
a top contender.

Bye.
