On Monday, Huw from SapphireSteel Software, announced the forthcoming release of ‘Amethyst’ - an IDE for Adobe Flex and AIR.
Amethyst will come as a free Personal addition or a commercial version (released later).
UPDATE: The Beta version is now available for download.
Free Personal Edition:
“Amethyst Personal is a free Flex/AIR IDE which will provide a project management, editing, building and launching environment for Flex/AIR/ActionScript. This will be completely free and may optionally be installed into the free Visual Studio ‘shell’ edition.”
Professional Edition:
“Amethyst Professional will provide a drag+drop visual design environment for Flex and AIR. The visual designer will integrate with Visual Studio’s Toolbox, Property panels and code editor to provide a seamless design-and-code experience which will be familiar to C# and VB developers…..”
They expect to release the Personal Edition next week, and the Professional edition should be available in a few months.
Could this really be an alternative to the Adobe Flex Builder? only time will tell.
