While Tor seems to hint at things to come, this is the water-tank chatter I've picked up:
1) They needed something "sexy" a la Flex. 2) There should be an eventual revenue model through tools. 3) It should not be hampered by usual compatibility roadblocks. It feels like a game of catching up SUN could never win, considering the competitors aren't exactly idling either. I suppose I couldn't care less, except for 3 years now other things have suffered (SwingLabs, SAF and even Java itself). /Casper On Nov 26, 3:30 pm, Jess Holle <[email protected]> wrote: > Chas Emerick wrote: > > For my money, give me Swing2, fix the applet/deployment experience, > > and fix the license/redistribution issues, and we'd be on that in a > > second. > > I concur that one of the most interesting spaces is that which would be > logically occupied by a "Swing2".
