How to make your AIR app blow up with Merapi with Adam Flater & Jordan Snyder. Merapi is a framework that enables a bridge between Flex on AIR and Java at the desktop layer. If you need to access a Java api in Flex or a Flex API in Java, this is the right tool for you. This session will cover the basics of using Merapi to build a Javaenabled AIR application. Please bring your questions and comments about the framework as well as any applications you want to show off. This will be an interactive session, you'll be able to code along with the session and try out some Merapi samples.
Cheers,
ted :)

Hey, Adam
Really interesting thing. I've been working for a while for Adobe, on AIR, and one thing i repeatedly asked to my managers was to allow for real interaction with native applications. Well, your work allows just that, which I think is great.
However, now that I don't work any longer for Adobe (and therefore don't risk losing my job :) ) I have some uneasy question:
Why would I want to use an AIR app that hooks up to a Java app to do some real low level stuff? Java already does that, and it is way much powerfull than AIR, and it has a decent interface (via SWING or SWT, whatever you prefer, so... Given than Java is better than AIR and it "stands up" by itself, why would I ever want to use AIR in order to use JAva?
Anyway, good job
