This is awesome news !  We are simply maintaining state with the applet at the 
moment, pending the move to OSGi. Keep us informed and we'll pitch in when we 
can.

One major barrier is the lack of automation for java2js.. Has any work been 
done on that ?

Jeff, Jim, Mungo, et al.,

As you know, last summer I took a stab at creating a JavaScript HTML5 version 
of Jalview. We were able to see an alignment show up, but that is about it. 
After a year back as department chair (no longer!) and teaching I'm finally 
back to working on SwingJS.

This summer, two St. Olaf undergraduate students and I have further developed 
SwingJS, and it is looking great.  We won't have time in the next few weeks to 
tackle Jalview -- we are focusing on physics applet conversion right now --  
but I think by the end of the summer we will have all the parts necessary to 
take a look at Jalview again. I don't see any particular problem, other than 
the fact that some of the tasks that Jalview is so good at may overwhelm 
JavaScript. We'll see.

I'm just taking the opportunity now to re-booting that conversation. Please let 
me know if you are still interested in this or if it just doesn't seem like 
something that fits in with your future plans for Jalview.
