Cool New Developments for Java on the Web

Presentation Abstract

We are poised for a renaissance of Java on the World Wide Web. With the release of Java SE 6 Update 10, applets will once again become a viable deployment vehicle. A fusion of applet and Java Web Start technology makes applets as powerful as desktop applications. New extensions for JavaFX technology can immediately and transparently be deployed into applets on a web page. Advanced visualization technology like NASA's World Wind Java can be embedded in a web page and scripted from JavaScript. This talk will show some of the possibilities for applet deployments today, with plenty of examples.
