Yesterday I had the chance to present at the BreizhJUG (a Breton Java user group) a session named
“Flex for Java Developers”. A crowd of almost 100 happy Java developers and architects was willing to know more about Flex.
I had an an hour and half to cover :
-
a basic presentation of the flash and AIR platforms,
-
cool UX flash/flex/AIR demos
-
the latest great features of flash 10
-
and flex, and its ecosystem from a Java developer perspective (mvn framework, testing libraries, building and quality tools, blazeds, lcds)
I ended up the session presenting fna
maven archetypes. I prepared some new fna features for this talk. Those features are still under development but are already available in SNAPSHOT releases :
-
I added flexbuilder support to some of my archetypes.
(Taking as a start the simpler of all the fna archetypes, the
flex-library-archetype) -
I also upgraded the archetypes with flexmojos 2.0 support and up to the latest Flex SDK
