In a bit of wonderful news, Macromedia has joined the eclipse
foundation.  As an active proponent of the CFEclipse project, I
can’t see how this is anything but wonderful.

The tool they are building (code named Zorn ) will be built to target Professional Flash Developers utilizing the flex platform.

Zorn will provide professional developers with a robust tool set for developing RIAs using the Macromedia Flex
framework. The Flex server combines the standards-based Flex
development framework with a powerful set of runtime services to
deliver enterprise-class rich Internet applications. Currently there
are more than 300 enterprise customers for Flex, including Dorado
Corporation, HBOS plc, NEC, and SAP

 

As a mac and linux user, i can not wait to see what comes from
this great news.  I am very excited to have one tool (eclipse) for
all my java, cf, flash/flex development.
