Not impressed enough to spill the details, but I guess time will tell. @ John What?! You missed the Lego people and the blatent attempt to flog my car :-) I like flash. No really I do. I bought the Open Laszlo book. I have Flex installed on my Laptop. I even did a bit of Flash work for my last client but one. It's just it doesn't cut it for my latest plans at world domination. But there again, neither do a lot of the Java-only presentation frameworks. Paul @Michael: One of the conference organisers had an ‘off the record’ talk with the Sun guys and he was impressed.

It’s just it doesn’t cut it for my latest plans at world domination. But there again, neither do a lot of the Java-only presentation frameworks.

Seeing as it's in place already - is it broken beyond repair? Or do you think a bit of pressure might get support for the features you need? Take a look at this flash app, which I think demos that you can produce some nice apps : http://splashup.com/ . Also I remember seeing a half-life style game that looked pretty good... Groovy was the big story of IJTC, lots of people really excited by it. Heard good reports of your talk as well (although to my shame, I slept in, sorry :( )..

I fear they won't though. They view GUI as a "detail". I hope Sun get it right with JavaFX, the little things matter a lot. I fear they won’t though. They view GUI as a “detail”.
