You can use the Eclipse plugin to easily launch Pivot applications from within Eclipse: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/108483/org.apache.pivot.eclipse_2.0.0.jar You can right-click on any class that implements Application to launch it as a desktop app. > I think it is OK to provide internet/browser version.

Not entirely sure what you mean. All of the demos and tutorials are developed first as desktop apps, then deployed to the web. > The current focus on BXML makes it difficult to employ these Java features. > If I did not develop BXML2Java converter, such generic library development > would have been more difficult. This is more of a documentation issue than anything else. I think your complaint is that the documentation focuses too much on BXML rather than pure Java examples. That may be true, but as I said, with limited time you have to focus on the things that will have the most impact, and it's generally easier to read and understand a BXML example than a Java one. Also, after reading the BXML Primer, you can easily figure out how the markup maps back to Java. > I already created a basic CRUD sample library.

Why don't you create a Google Code project for it?
