Artemis

Artemis is a community focused project aimed at bringing external libraries
to the Flex / Flash environment. The goal of Artemis is to provide features in the
Flex / Flash desktop application domain that are not currently available. The Artemis
framework allows a developer to create their own custom libraries (currently written
in java with plans to support other languages) that integrate with a Flex / Flash
Apollo application. Developers will be encouraged to share Artemis libraries they’ve
built and discuss new features through this web site.

For Flex Developers:

Artemis provides a way for developers to collaborate on building extension to
theApollo framework. Nearly any java API can be encapsulated in an Artemis Library and
exposed to an Apollo application through the Artemis framework.

The Java Artemis Bridge developers have the capability of interfacing with
hardware on Bluetooth and other communication ports, are able to off load expensive
tasks like XSLT to the java process, and in the end let Flex do what Flex does
best: present an engaging and interactive user interface. No more hang ups in having
the Flash player fight for processing resource, an Artemis developer can tap into a
multi-threaded environment provided using java.
