Yes, we have to wait a little to see what to do ... but probably we'll have to derive our graphic classes no more from AWT, but from Swing or other ... let's see. Ah, on the HTML 5 Canvas, I was speaking on the fact that probably all the work (not only the graphics part) is in a single thread ... but I could be wrong, and in any case could not be a problem ... let's see. And another interesting article (and the presentation has some very interesting slides inside !!): http://steveonjava.com/javafx-2-0/ speaking on a possible (future) Java API of it ... suitable for multi-language inside the JVM.
