Is Adobe starting to “get it”? Here comes Flex Builder/Linux

Looks like Adobe has Flex Builder on Linux in the plans – far enough along that you can try out the Alpha release. This will actually be the first time I’m willing to try out Flex Builder. See the quote from the website below though – not all features of Flex Builder are supported on Linux. I’ll post here once I get a chance to play with it in the next few days. In the meantime, you can get the release from Adobe Labs here:

This is the first release of Flex Builder to support Desktop Linux. This version is based on several features from Flex Builder 3 (codenamed “Moxie”). It includes project creation, code coloring, code hints, compilation, the Ajax Bridge, Find All References, and debugging. Not all Flex Builder 3 features are supported, so be sure to check out the release notes for a list of unsupported features.
