		What was the most important announcement from the JavaOne 2007 general sessions? Introduction of JavaFX Script 11% (70 votes) Introduction of JavaFX Mobile 4% (23 votes) Fast-loading "Consumer JRE" in the works 56% (343 votes) Completion of OpenJDK open-sourcing 26% (161 votes) Something else (please comment) 2% (15 votes) Total votes: 612 » Login or register to post comments 278 visits Printer-friendly version "Reliable" is more important than fast Submitted by jwenting on Wed, 2007-05-16 04:08. realibility is indeed far more important than raw performance. If the JVM crashes every 10 minutes (or even every 10 days) it's useless to us. We need uptimes measured in months if not years (the time between software upgrades) for our application servers, and at least days for workstations.

However, what good is JavaFX if we don't have a slick, easy, small, "no friction" installer for the JRE required to process JavaFX Script? JavaFX is awesome, and I plan to use it... A lot, but I would be plenty happy just using plain old Swing for applets/apps if the JRE were 2MB (like Flash player 9) instead of 13MB. Login or register to post comments
