Let's hope so; and that it won't just be another round of pretty RIA samples. What JavaFX needs is a mobile platform, Android could've been a match made in heaven, but that's obviously not going to happen. I still think Sun management made a mistake back in the day when they positioned JavaFX to be a narrow Flash-like RIA technology rather than a general purpose Java.Next - they actually had a chance of drawing a line in the sand and open a new chapter. JavaFX may not have been intended to take so many resources away from other things. but that's what ended up happening with the result that JDK7 is massively late, and people wonder whether Swing is effectively deprecated or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
