As part of the announcement and roll-out of Adobe’s AIR platform, our team was asked to create a desktop AIR application that included extensible capabilities using plug-ins written using the Adobe Flex environment. The first release was made available at Adobe MAX with the initial releases of AIR and the Adobe Developer Connection, and then a complete new version was released one year later. The Adobe Developer Connection Desktop is still being actively promoted by Adobe as a tool for developers.
