ProjectsAdobe is active in Open Source projects. The following are a number of our contributions and commitments to open source.
as3corelibThe corelib project is an ActionScript 3 Library that contains a number of classes and utilities for working with ActionScript 3. These include classes for MD5 and SHA 1 hashing, Image encoders, and JSON serialization as well as general String, Number and Date APIs. BlazeDSBlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex™ and Adobe AIR™ applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences. Previously available only as part of Adobe LiveCycle® Data Services ES, Adobe is announcing its plans to contribute the proven BlazeDS technologies to the community under the LGPL v3. BlazeDS gives the rapidly growing Adobe developer community free access to the powerful remoting and messaging technologies developed by Adobe. Home | Downloads | Source | Documentation CairngormCairngorm is the lightweight micro-architecture for rich Internet applications built in Flex or AIR. A collaboration of recognized design patterns, Cairngorm exemplifies and encourages best-practices for RIA development advocated by Adobe Consulting, encourages best-practice leverage of the underlying Flex framework, while making it easier for medium to large teams of software engineers deliver medium to large scale, mission-critical rich Internet applications. Previously available only as Adobe Consulting releases through labs.adobe.com, Cairngorm is now evolving towards a project that will invite community leaders and enterprise adopters to partner with Adobe Consulting in the ongoing development of Cairngorm. Home | Downloads | Source | Documentation CMap ResourcesCMap (Character Map) resources are used to unidirectionally map character codes, such as a Unicode encoding form, to CIDs (Characters IDs, meaning glyphs) of a CIDFont resource. CMap resources, like CIDFont resources, include a /CIDSystemInfo dictionary that specifies /Registry and /Ordering strings that must match for compatibility between the two resources. In other words, a CMap resource can be used with a CIDFont resource only if their /Registry and /Ordering strings match. Home | Downloads | Documentation DurangoDurango is a framework that allows developers to build Adobe AIR applications that can be customized by end-users. Durango allows developers, designers and end-users to easily mashup independent components to create new applications or extend existing Durango-enabled applications. These "mashable" components can be visual or non-visual (e.g., web services). Designers and developers can rapidly create prototype applications and then generate Adobe Flex MXML source projects for further development. End-users can take parts of their favorite applications and bring them together in new ways. Home | Downloads | Source | Documentation Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP)Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a labeling technology that allows you to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the file itself. With XMP, desktop applications and back-end publishing systems gain a common method for capturing, sharing, and leveraging this valuable metadata—opening the door for more efficient job processing, workflow automation, and rights management, among many other possibilities. The XMP SDK is available as open source. Flash-Ajax Video ComponentThe Flash Ajax Video (FAVideo) component is a small, open source Flash component that you can use to provide video playback within an Ajax application. It exposes all of the formatting and video playback controls necessary to build a video player customized entirely using HTML and Javascript. Flex SDKAdobe® Flex™ is a cross platform, open source framework for creating rich Internet applications that run identically in all major browsers and operating systems. The Adobe® Flex™ SDK is the foundation of Flex, providing the core Flex compilers, component library and debugger. Using only the free SDK and an IDE of your choice, you can build and deploy rich Flex applications. Home | Downloads | Source | Documentation flexlibThe FlexLib project is a community effort to create open source user interface components for Adobe Flex 2 and 3. Current components: AdvancedForm, Base64Image, EnhancedButtonSkin, CanvasButton, ConvertibleTreeList, Draggable Slider, Fire, Highlighter, HorizontalAxisDataSelector IconLoader, ImageMap, PromptingTextArea, PromptingTextInput, Scrollable Menu Controls, SuperTabNavigator, Alternative Scrolling Canvases, Horizontal Accordion, TreeGrid, FlowBox, Docking ToolBar, Flex Scheduling Framework FlexPMDFlexPMD is a tool that helps to improve code quality by auditing any AS3/Flex source directory and detecting common bad practices, such as Unused code (functions, variables, constants, etc.), Over-complex code (nested loops, too many conditionals, etc.), Over-long code (classes, methods, etc.), and Incorrect use of the Flex component lifecycle (commitProperties, etc.). FlexUnitFlexUnit is a unit testing framework for Flex and ActionScript 3.0 applications and libraries. It mimics the functionality of JUnit, a Java unit testing framework, and comes with a graphical test runner. Generic Image LibraryGeneric Image Library (GIL) is a C++ generic library which allows for writing generic imaging algorithms with performance comparable to hand-writing for a particular image type. Home | Downloads | Documentation Mapping Resources for PDFThese mapping resources are used to derive content from PDF (Portable Document Format) files that include CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) information. These mapping resources are in use by Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat (Pro and Standard), and Acrobat Distiller. These mapping resources are also useful for third-party PDF clients, thus the need for this open source project. Home | Downloads | Documentation Open Source Media FrameworkOpen Source Media Framework enables developers to easily assemble pluggable components to create high-quality, full-featured playback experiences. The open aspect of the framework enables collaborative development for web video monetization, with lower costs and faster turnaround. Home | Downloads | Source | Documentation Adobe Media GalleryThe Adobe Media Gallery (AMG) is a Flash web photo and video gallery whose appearance and behavior can be customized via XML files. Home Adobe Source LibrariesThe Adobe Source Libraries (ASL) are a collection of C++ libraries building foundation technology to allow the construction of commercial applications by assembling generic algorithms through declarative descriptions. Updates monthly. Home TamarinThe Tamarin project, which is based on code contributed from Adobe, is designed to implement an open engine for ActionScript. Tamarin will be used by Mozilla within the next generation of SpiderMonkey, the core JavaScript engine embedded in Firefox®, Mozilla's free Web browser, as well as within the ActionScript™ Virtual Machine within Adobe® Flash® Player. Developers interested in working on Tamarin code in the Mozilla CVS repository via the project page located at www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/. Contributions to the code will be managed by a governing body of developers from both Adobe and Mozilla. Text Layout FrameworkThe Text Layout Framework is an extensible ActionScript library, built on the new text engine in Adobe Flash Player 10 and Adobe AIR 1.5, which delivers advanced, easy-to-integrate typographic and text layout features for rich, sophisticated and innovative typography on the web. The framework is designed to be used with Adobe Flex or Adobe Flash Professional and is included in Flex 4, code named "Gumbo". Developers can use or extend existing components, or use the framework to create their own text components. WebkitThe WebKit library is used to render HTML and execute JavaScript in Adobe® AIR™. Adobe AIR allows web developers to deploy rich Internet applications on the desktop. Our plan is to contribute our changes back to the WebKit community in the near future. We are currently working on getting the code smoothly integrated into the WebKit source tree. We hope to make our contributions included in the WebKit open source project soon. |
