Remember when Adobe abandoned Flash? Apache: http://flex.apache.org http://flex.apache.org

  Flex is not Flash and Apache Flex distribution is not exactly a poster child of abandoneware surviving as an OSS project. Apache Flex releases are infrequent, not bug free and generally smell of death.

    Apache Flex has seen more success than I expected it too. The Mailing list traffic makes it one of the busiest projects in the Apache Foundation and it has had 7 major releases [if I'm counting right] since it got donated. I wasn't aware of any bugs in new releases; but I know lots of legacy bugs have been fixed; plus lots of new components and other code has been donated. Its ties to Adobe Flash Player may be an albatross, but the FlexJS project has done impressive things. [Disclaimer: I am an Apache Flex PMC Member and all this is my opinion/perception; I do not speak on behalf of the Apache Foundation or the Apache Flex PMC]

      To be clear -- it is in fact much better than I expected as well and we all appreciate the work that you are doing on it.
