Hey all, I work at Adobe, and we have a new product we're working on called AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime). The idea behind AIR is to allow desktop applications to be built with web technologies (i.e. HTML, CSS, JavaScript). The browser we use is WebKit (a la Safari 3) and the SDK for building AIR applications (currently in public beta) is/will be free.
I've tried Simile inside AIR and hit some recursion limits we set in the runtime (known bug on our side). I'm pushing to have engineering open that up a little to allow Simile to work on the desktop. I haven't tried Timeline yet... AIR sounds like a good alternative to a standalone Java application for both the Simile and Timeline projects so far as desktop deployment is concerned. We'll have another beta release later this year, and hopefully the fix will be in there. I'll be sure to report back to the list as we make progress. Two cents, Kevin Hoyt Platform Evangelist Adobe Systems, Inc.
