Done. After replying to your original email the other day, I created a FAQ on the Wiki. >> Most of the comparison points are discussed in our proposal to the >> Apache Incubator; see the section entitled "Comparison to Other >> Java-Based RIA Platforms": >> >> http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/PivotProposal > >Cool.

Yes - in fact, I was looking into this earlier today. I wasn't able to make much headway, though, since documentation on Java ME seems to be a bit scarce. I posted some questions to the Java ME forum - hopefully I will hear back soon. >Not a priority, I suppose, but that's something JavaFX pushes as a >paramount advantage, even if there is no official support of real >devices yet (only run in emulators). This was actually one of my questions to the forum - what devices actually do support this profile? If it is truly only emulators, then that's not much of an advantage for JavaFX, IMO. Unfortunately, it's not much of an advantage for Pivot, either, even if we are able to get it running on Java ME. :-) >I hope I will be able to spend some more time on this interesting >framework (like you, that's on my free time, already crowded! ;-)). Great. Let us know if you have any additional questions or comments.
