		Felipe Leme Felipe Leme has worked professionally with Java since 1996, and in the last years had became an active enthusiastic of the technology: he is a frequent speaker in the main Brazilian Java conferences, presented at JavaOne for 3 years in a row, is a developer of a few Java-based open-source projects (like DbUnit and Jakarta Cactus), and is an individual member of the Java Community Process, where he took part of the JSP 2.1 and Java EE 5.0 expert groups. He is a father of two, and in his spare time likes to assemble jigsaw puzzles and collect Marvel comic books with his older son, Thomas. He used to scuba dive as well, but have not dove yet in this new millennium. Currently, he works as an independent consultant and Java instructor in Brazil, but is planning to move back to the US, where he worked from 1999 to 2002. Felipe Leme's blog javafx is up and ^H^H^H^H^H^Hrunning Posted by felipeal on December 4, 2008 at 9:55 AM PST With all this fuzz about JavaFX (which I've never cared for so far, and always thought it was something related to the FX TV channel), I decided to check the website. But to my surprise (or not!), all I got was a lousy "Your Application Server is now running" message, as you can see on this screenshot Ironically, another post says: You might* want to go directly over the the JavaFX website to download the JavaFX SDK, but if you work in NetBeans 6.5 you don't have to bother.* Yep, you might want to go, but there is nothing there... Final note/disclaimer: yes, this is a trolling blog. But I couldn't resist - almost 2 years in the making and the web server can't handle it? It reminds me that IBM ad about the Cheddar city website. » Login or register to post comments 209 visits Printer-friendly version Related Topics >> Java Desktop Comments Comments are listed in date ascending order (oldest first) Submitted by jwenting on Fri, 2008-12-05 02:38. when the site was still running Flash applets instead of (presumably, they don't seem to work) JavaFX applets it looked like crap but was at least stable.

The site has been up and down all morning. e.g. after the "your app server is now running" message it started running again but slowly. At this moment it's been replaced with a simple web page that has pointers to places you can download it. I guess when the whole network descends on one computer that it demonstrates the fallacy of "the network is the computer" ... eh?
