Hybridizing Java Article by Bruce Eckel

[sandor]

This article is a little old,was written in Jan 2007, but I ran across it today and found it echoed my recent experience with literally fighting with the java web ui to get it to do what I want. It just should not be so hard. Anyway, I found it interesting and am going to take a peak at Bruce's demo of Flex.
Hybridizing Java

Bruce detected very good points. I think Sun made a great thing by creating Java. Most of the things inside Java was out of its time (in a positive manner). Unfortunately, they could not market it or fix some main issues (as described in the article) of it on time.

But Java is still very powerful (more importantly mature) and i see great moves from Sun recently! I guess they were needing to change their CEO to change their vision to support Java.
