Yakov first publised the news from the SAP TechEd conference :

SAP TechEd conference opens today in Vegas. The big guy is using Flex as a client for Java. Here's an abstract of the presentation called "Next Generation of Client Technology for SAP ". When I suggest my clients using Adobe Flex as a front end for Java, the first question they ask is "Who else is using it." I was answering with a couple of super heavy-weight players from Wall Street. Now I'll add one more: the third largest software company in the world.  (via SAP is using Flex  article )

What does it mean for Flex 2 developers ?
New business opportunity ! Company and developers could start creating plugin for SAP and enter SAP's Partner Program for extending and adding value to SAP solutions.

It's a great deal for Adobe and for all Flex developers !
