I'd add one more vote for Stripes + client-side JavaScript library..
Stripes really doesn't do much. It's just a razor thin MVC layer. I
don't use the Stripes tag libs. You have to choose another template
library (JSP or Freemarker). It doesn't offer any integrated full-
stack persistence or data
The OP is right that Microsoft puts more resources into their
development infrastructure. I don't believe that they are better, but
we don't need to open that can of worms right now.
I also agree with the OP that this is because of money motivation.
Look at Microsoft's financial statement. Dev to

This is simply wrong BECAUSE Java is

Wow
Yes, with Silverlight, it's very easy to change languages on the code-
behind, but honestly that's a superficial change. All your GUI layout
code is still .xaml, the Silverlight APIs are all the same, your IDE,
and dev stack is the same. VB is effectively a dialect of C#.

JavaFX wishlist (from a .NET/Java programmer perspective):
#1: Stability. Better handling of unresponsive apps. Even just
exploring the official samples, I get some crashes, hangs, and minute+
loading times.
#2: As a basic barometer of quality/stability, I'd like to see a
JavaFX-based YouTube-st
IMO, Weka is more of a research or exploratory workbench tool like R
or MiniTab or Stata, rather than something used to build a production
data store and reporting system.

I hate to say it, but OpenOffice is a mess. Even on 3.1, it still
crashes during routine use, it's got long start-up times, the
interface is sluggish and non-responsive, the GUI design is clunky,

I've been doing a ton of work with Microsoft's OLAP tech for these

Compare JSF to JavaFX. At version 1.0, both products had both great
ideas and some major flaws and omissions.
The difference is what happened after 1.0. The JavaFX team clearly
knew exactly what was wrong with 1.0 and knew exactly what to do. A
mere six months later, they shipped 1.2 and the list
Oh yes, if your class is part of a public API, then you can't just
switch between fields and getters/setters. You pick one approach and
have to stick with that to preserve compatibility. For this case,
proper language support would be beneficial.
However, the majority of code being written is par
On second thought, I was wrong: parallelism is a big obstacle in the
same vein as C++ memory management.
First, almost any GUI application will completely lock up during a
networking related stall or hiccup, when perfect use of parallelism
could handle this more gracefully. And this isn't just am
Could you explain this?
Concurrency is one of the more simple, academic issues on the larger

The biggest problems that I've seen in Java development have been very
non-academic issues related to managing large projects with lots of

That's such an obnoxious expression. Who is or is not an "asshole" is
completely subjective. I'm sure a lot of those people you've labeled
as "assholes" are equally justified in feeling the same way about you.
That's not even a respectful or mature way to terminate an employee.

Interview and link in OP were very helpful.
I have a few simple Jigsaw questions:
How much (if any) of Project Jigsaw is usable in the current JDK 7
milestone?
What's a general ballpark time frame for when this stuff will be ready
to play with?
Maven is gaining lots of traction and wide usage a
I (and probably most people on this forum) would generally agree with
everything you said. Flash/Flex is generally a more mature platform
for most web RIA projects.
