Hey guys - I'm sure through Dick's wandering through the world of Java posts you've probably seen Kirill Grouchnikov's blog post about the demise of the SwingX project's funding (http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ kirillcool/archive/2008/11/sun_setting_dow.html). There's a lot of interesting discussion going on in the SwingX forums about the decision: http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52945&tstart=0 http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52665&tstart=0
Basically it boils down to Sun throwing everything (from a desktop Java perspective) into JavaFX. Here's another interesting blog post about a developer moving to flash: http://blog.sharendipity.com/were-moving-to-flash-heres-why Personally, I tend to agree that this is a really bad decision. Desktop Java is in trouble and killing SwingX doesn't help. Hopefully JavaFX will be the greatest thing since sliced bread as Sun claims it is. Thanks for the show. I love the discussion!
