It is. You are not required to use BXML. Anything that can be done in BXML can also be done in Java or any other JVM language. BXML is just a shortcut to writing such code by hand. > I think Pivot is, in the basic Java oriented approach, more closer to Vaadin > than Silverlight etc. Vaadin explicitly avoid using any form of XML as basic > policy, it emphasizes pure Java based approach. I wonder Pivot developers > have looked at the project.. I am loosely familiar with Vaadin. However, I believe Pivot and Vaadin address different use cases. Pivot (like Flex and Silverlight) runs on the client, whereas Vaadin runs on the server. To me, Vaadin seems more closely related to something like Canoo than Pivot.
