Description:

Building a Bridge between Adobe AIR and Java (OS)

Merapi is a Java^TM application, intended to run on a user's (client) computer. Merapi connects other Java^TM applications on the user's computer to Adobe AIR^TM applications that the user has installed. How Merapi Works

Merapi is a framework that bridges an AIR application with a Java application, both running on the desktop. This communication is accomplished through a class that exists in Java and ActionScript called merapi.Bridge.
