Another anecdotal Swing story: Our company has a JNLP application
built on top of JMF that allows users of any platform to preview media
files served up via a servlet -- that is, every platform apart from
OSX 10.7. I can't imagine asking a user to install XCode for X11 and
then install OpenJDK just to preview media. We'll have to create a
Mac application, written in Objective C -- which is just what Jobs
wants us to do...
The JS + Swing/SWT strategy can be very effective for missing codecs...
A customer of mine runs large applets that must reproduce video streams,
in some cases with proprietary codecs that are only available as ActiveX
plugins. Since we're running applets, we're sure we are in a HTML box
and we just use JavaScript to lay a floating DIVs, containing the
ActiveX, on top of Swing placeholder components. It even supports drag
and drop, with very vew glitches.
