I just saw that the heavyweight/lightweight mixing problem in Swing is fixed and will be part of 6.0u12. I'm very happy to see this, at long last.
Finally, embedded JDIC browsers (even in NetBeans), 3D content, etc. can be added to a JComponent without z-order problems.
Of course, JWebPane will make JDIC basically obsolete anyway, but what the heck.
I just got back from the JavaFX launch event in San Francisco. It was just a few blocks from my office, so I figured, why not? Jonathan Schwartz was presenting, as well as the VP in charge of Java (I forget his name), and the had a pretty impressive set of demos.
There were also demos being presented by Sun folks and a few partners. I spoke for a while with Jeff Martin, from a small shop...
