Who would have thought that the iPhone gets closures two years before Java does (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Closure_(computer_science)#Objective-C_2.0)... JDK 7 really is the "Duke Nukem Forever" of JDKs. This may also be the final nail in the JavaFX coffin. I remember hearing that JavaFX really needs Java modularity for quick start-up time on the desktop and in mobile to compete effectively against Flash. JavaFX is already nowhere to be seen in mobile, and on the desktop it will now lag behind Flash/Flex/AIR for another two years. By then, I think most developer attention will be on smartphones, tables and HTML 5, not JavaFX (nor Flash or Silverlight). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
