your idea is so simple that it only takes a month to reverse- engineer, then the idea must be somewhat trivial (one-click shopping). Instead we have companies spending billions on building patent war chests -- not innovating with the money. -Craig -- You received this message because you are

Hello Java Posse. In a break from Oracle and Google legal fun, I thought I'd throw this problem out there. We're running into a strange, what seems to be JVM- related issue. Given the following classes: abstract class Inner { Inner() { run(); } public abstract void run(); } public class

JavaFX is not a direct replacement for Swing, it's an alternative to Swing, and Swing is going to be around for a long time (possibly longer than JavaFX if Oracle decides to duck out of the fight with Adobe and Microsoft). JavaFX script is neat and I really hope that it flourishes under new owners
