Allaire was founded by Jeremy Allaire and Joseph J. Allaire in Minnesota, and was later headquartered in Cambridge, then Newton, Massachusetts. Allaire first released ColdFusion in 1995.[1] In March 1997, Allaire acquired HomeSite, which became the foundation of an integrated development environment for ColdFusion Studio. In 2000 Allaire acquired Live Software, the developer of JRun.[2] After Macromedia merged with Allaire in 2001, Jeremy Allaire remained at Macromedia as founder emeritus.[3] Macromedia itself was acquired by Adobe Systems in December 2005.[4]
