The showcase sounds like a good idea, but if the goal is to be able to
use
it to convince people that JavaFX is a viable platform, wouldn't it be
better if you could download and try the application (maybe even web
start
it)? After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Guys, if the application is available, this is a plus, but there's plenty
of non-distributable applications. Even better if the application is open
source, so people can check it out, but not all applications are open
source. When the interview include the developers, who talk also in name
of the company, this is very valuable information. So, let's just provide
the best information possible, case by case. Rich client apps are strong
mostly in the industry, and most of the stuff here is proprietary.
Anyway, let's not forget that in most cases decisions about which
technology to use are done and/or approved by managers, and they usually
don't download and run applications. They are assured if they see a
widespread adoption of the technology. Bad or good, they reason in terms
of powerpoint slides and diagrams about the market share.
