I'm pretty sure this can be achieved with applets as well.
Having deployed "heavy" Java applications on clients via both Applet and JNLP/WebStart (preferred!), I can vouch that it only takes a little bit extra effort to have the Java app showing 'something' within a second or so, and loading the rest of the app in your own bootstrap controlled classloader. Also, I have been involved in the preview and recommendations to how to present this proposal to the Incubator, and it didn't strike me that one should need to spend to compare with JSF, GWT and other non-Java solutions, when JavaFX is the main 'competitor' and reading up any paper on "Why JavaFX, instead of X?" would apply here. But then, perhaps I just got carried away with my own enthusiasm. Noel's points are otherwise accurate and precise, and I am sure Greg and Todd will address this asap. Other feedback is of course welcome early, otherwise there was supposed to be a [Proposal] thread later on, perhaps after the holidays... Noel kind of short-circuited the intentions :o) Cheers Niclas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
