For those interested in checking out a technology a few months to it becoming globally famous ;) you want to look at the RC for Nitrogen for the XWT project.
Some of the awesome features of the updated Nitrogen core: - automatic installation on multiple platforms (Win32, Linux, Darwin, Solaris, Java) - opengl acceleration of rendering where possible - easy to use syntax and API - automated update process for core and applications - many, many more features which will be described in the full Nitrogen release announcement XWT uses an automated, minimal install to provide a platform for remote user interfaces for your applications. The user interfaces are created using an XUL-like syntax, a combination of XML and Javascript. XWT remains a small download by only keeping in the core the primitives needed to produce an interface. There is a separate project called the XWT Widgets which widgets for XWT written using primitives defined by XWT. The updated XWT Widgets are as yet unreleased. By using a combination of Java and gcj, XWT can offer the core in native formats for Windows, Linux, Darwin-based, and Solaris platforms in addition to anything supported by Java. By being native to particular platforms, XWT can make use of any opengl acceleration offered by a platform. This was an unofficial Nitrogen RC1 announcement. -- - Charlie The future of the net - www.xwt.org Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Member of the XWT Foundation ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
