I don't know flash well either.  There are certainly things one can do with
it that I have no knowledge about.  But I've used it some and here what I
think:
Flash is faster and easy to implement, but it's limited.  It offers some
interactivity (buttons, mouse_over, mouse_clicks, etc), but I doubt that it
can do things like sliders controling graphics in different components of
different windows, etc.  Also, it's hard to put plug-ins for it that are
outside what is currently implemented.  And that's just among the things
I've dealt with.  Looking in the future, where different things will keep
getting implemented, Java programs will be able to accomodate the changes.
Flash won't unless Macromedia writes a new version of it.
In other words, Java is definately more powerful, though there are some
temporary advantages in using Flash.
