Flex makes for a very nice end run around that problem, and given is on ~ 95% browsers accessing the Internet, it is actually more ubiquitous than any browser. HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript don't constitute a computing standard, but instead are a hodgepodge of competing interest contested via b

So while the flash experience is better for installation, it actually appears to be heavier behind the scenes. So if the new installer aids with this, it could be on to something. On Sep 7, 11:29 am, RogerV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What motivated this posting is that I started with a fresh

I don't know if there will be an API for this, but it should be technically possible. The most likely place for it would be an additional service available to Java Webstart apps, similar to the single launch service. Esp. now that both applets and webstart apps share the same infrastructu

I'd like the think that more browsers should help make it a commodity market. When IE dominated sites assumed that you were using IE on Windows. Anyone else must just be strange. So this encouraged Microsoft to embrace and extend. Do more browsers encourage "tolerant" web sites? I'd like to t

This benefit pales in comparison to proper integration with your source code. Especially because a lot of other JVM languages will produce class files that look like they were written in java code with a lot of potential bugs in it. It's just that the potential bugs never show up, and the compile
