Merapi - AIR-to-Java Bridge
Posted by: Kenneth in Flex, Java, tags: adobeair, air, bridge, devices, Flex, framework, Java, merapiMerapi is a bridge between applications written in Java and those running in and created for Adobe AIR™ (Adobe Integrated Runtime™).
Merapi has been designed to run on a user’s machine, along with an Adobe AIR™application and providea direct bridge between the Adobe AIR™ framework and Java, exposing the power and overall calabilities of the user’s operating system, including 3rd party hardware devices.
Got this from insideRIA.com and the moment i saw Java and AIr, it got me excited. First thing that comes to mind is “No more jfc/swing interfaces”. But visiting their sites, i see more potential in this. Adam Flater has created a demo which shows the interaction between the mac accelerometer and AIR. Check out the demos here!
I signed up for the alpha and hope to play with it asap.
