Adam e Eve, by Adobe

[Irapuan Martinez]

Adobe resolveu contribuir:

http://opensource.adobe.com/
http://opensource.adobe.com/group__asl__overview.html

De cara disponibilizou dois recursos, "Adam" e "Eve". Não entendi direito
pra que serviam, mas tem mó cara de ser "Avalon & XAML" ou "Firefox & XUL"
ou "Flex & MXML":

>Eve (the name is derived from Express View Engine) is a layout engine and
>declarative language for constructing a human interface (HI) layout. Eve
>was developed originally for Photoshop (a prototype version was used in
>Photoshop 5) and has since seen gradual evolution and integration into
>other Adobe applications.
>
>Development on Adam began in between Eve and Eve2. The discovery was made
>that the same technology Eve relies upon for HI element layout can also be
>used to model the behaviors of those elements. Adam is the result of that
>technology reworked to fit command parameter modeling requirements. Adam
>is currently being integrated into several Adobe applications.

Como disse, entendi pouco desse breguete todo - não consegui achar a
especificação se o Adam e Eve rodam independente da presença de algum
aplicativo da Adobe.

>Adam is a modeling engine and declarative language for describing

>(...) Adam and Eve can be used independently or together but need other

>The two components are part of a larger Adobe Source Libraries (ASL)
