Hello,

  Amy Fowler (Sun) who promised to open source and
unveil the Java Desktop Network Compenents (JDNC)
project last fall (*) has signed up for a JavaOne talk
titled "Java Desktop Network Components (JDNC):
Simplifying Client Construction for Java Desktops".

   The talk summary states:

   JDNC is a new technology aimed at radically
simplifying the task of constructing and deploying
rich stateful Java clients. JDNC provides a suite of
high-level Java Beans components that take advantage
of J.F.C./Swing GUI APIs, in addition to providing
built-in data-binding, networking, upscale visuals,
and usability features. Components can be created and
manipulated through a first-class Java API.
Alternatively, they can be realized through an
easy-to-use markup language called Java Component
Configuration Language (JCCL). Neither the Java API
for JDNC nor the XML schema for it require
J.F.C./Swing expertise. 
 In this session, the JDNC development team first
describes what you need to know as a developer using
JDNC to construct an application for the JDNC
programming model, component APIs, and XML schema. 
  The second half of the session takes a peek under
the covers and talks about the architecture and its
evolution, providing perspective for developers who
wish to extend or plug into JDNC at both the XML and
Java level.

   Let's hope this time it's more than hot air.

   - Gerald

(*) Amy Fowler: Once we reach this early access
milestone (targeted for Fall 03) we'll roll it out as
an Open Source project hosted on javadesktop.org.
