ZDNet reports that Macromedia Flex is due for release today.

"For people who typically program in Java or .Net, the tools didn't quite work the way they work," Whatcott said. "They wanted to be able to use their existing tools to program rich applications, and that's what Flex enables."

Flex works with leading Java application servers, including IBM WebSphere, BEA's WebLogic and Apache Tomcat. It costs $12,000 for each two server CPUs it runs on.

"Sounds" great, but 12k? Catch the full story here. Macromedia's webpage for Flex can be seen here.
