This is what i`ve been waiting for: http://artemis.effectiveui.com/
If now only adobe would implement a smooth way too bootstrap the server. I really think adobe should implement some way of communication with external apps. I`m sure they won`t support extensions via Dll`s or something but a simple command line interface would open up endless possibilities. I know they want to keep things cross-os but i think it`s worse if we end up with different hacks that disturb the user experience like lauching two apps (server+apollo app) . There must be a smooth way to bootstrap those apps. But so far cudos to effectiveui for their efforts.
