I don't know why they chose Cocoa, which is one reason I thought perhaps the Posse could interview them. And while I think the UI is important, what makes it worth considering at all is that it is built on top of libraries for S/FTP, S3, WebDav, etc. which I *assume* are fully cross-platform--and in that sense, yes, Java is relevant--more importantly, Java is relevant if it helps them be more productive and build reliable apps that people want to use. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
