    It really would be considered more of a suite in that example.  But the=
y are not separate products at this time.  The targeted output is what's ch=
anging.  Most people would just say I develop with Flex and I make apps for=
 Mobile /  Browser / Desktop.

    The only different one is the FlexJS which has some customization / min=
imization that doesn't exist in the standard SDK.  That one reason it gets =
mentioned separately is because of its differences.

Hmm, I thought that all these runtimes are under the same hood wich is
called "Flash platform" by Adobe.
Seems that the Adobe naming confused me also ;-)

Ok, but that means that both SDKs exists side by side:
->Apache Flex
->Apache FlexJS

But my understanding is that FlexJS is under the hood of Apache Flex:
->Apache Flex
-->FlexJS
-->Previous Flex

So if you'd like to make sure that there will be no confusion if you talk o=
r
write just about "Apache Flex" you have to mention that you mean the "AIR,
Flash,... whatever SDK".
Probably at the end this discussion is useless but maybe a unique name woul=
d
avoid confusion, especially if FlexJS gets more and more popular and moves
into the focus of non-Flex developers.

Thanks,
Olaf
