But I think it would be way cool. It would prove a challenge for both you and Chet. It would also be a great tool for the community. I remember back in 2001 a very cool demo that showed the heap of objects in the JVM. The demo did a visual and you could see things like hashkey and equals play out visually. I'm not suggesting this but this is what gave me the idea. ;-) So here goes... Does something like that for the AWT message queue. Put some cool animation. Maybe allow it to use the JConsole type API. Use any of your current cool apps. Attach this one however you want. As a bean, map it to an action-hot-key like Ctrl-Shift-F1 or whatever. But I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like a pimped up UI demo to watch messages in the AWT message queue! Maybe have it monitor the Container event of child added? Just graphically draw a tree? What would be even cooler would be to leverage http://prefuse.org/ to draw it in a tree. I don't think this would be as hard as it sounds. I also think with your UI expertise and Chet's knowledge of the threading model it would be great. I also think a simple tool like that would really show people why 10 years later MS has started cloning the Java Swing framework with Silverlight. :-) Like I trust MS for a cross platform API. Heck they can't even write a single OS that all of their developers can code against. Rumor has it the MS Sql guys got so upset with MS Server that they changed ring zero code and wrote their own memory management software. Cheers, Ed Romain,

Just to contribute to the discussion I would like to see kind of that stuff. I would have enaugh time and experience to work on stuff like switching between windows or tabs in a manner like compiz-fusion does on linux. daevil Hi guys, I was working at an application to view picture with jogl, something looking like PicLens http://www.piclens.com, wich is really good.

That’s why we are here. Every one has an option how to make Java successful on desktop. Both Romain and Chet made a lot of contributions to this Java community on Swing and Java 2D. Like George Vandebroek, a lot of us also want to see that Sun would do more to solve some of the fundamental issues , such as Java runtime, Multimedia support and etc. But that’s not something that either Roman or Chet can solve and they don’t work for Sun anymore.

So why would I? Anyway, I'll do it. My name is George Vandebroek. I live in Brussel, Belgium. I am a software engineer and I have 8 years background in Java (mainly desktop even if I do have a strong J2EE base). I've seen you many times at some conferences (I attend J1 & Javapolis each year and some Sun Tech Days even now and then...) but we never talked. However, I did have some discussions with some other of your "fellows". Swing is very powerfull but in comparaison with some other widget toolkit, Swing hasn't evolve for years (significantly). Of course, we've seen some improvements (no more gray rect, table sorting and filtering, system tray...) but what we need is video, audio, animations... JMF isn't part of the JDK/JRE yet!! Corba is and JMF is not. This is ridiculous. Even if you can't do anything about that because of the JCP... that's what's killing Java on the desktop. Java Descktop 2.0 will never see the day !!!!;-) Compare Flex/Flash to Swing ten years ago and today. Why is Flex/Flash/AIR/Apollo so well accepted by everyone comparing to Swing? i don't mean to be rude against (definitely not against you Romain Guy - J'aime bien la France si tu veux savoir et j'aime ton travail. Quoique, comme tu le dis, minime ces derniers temps). I know you can't really do anything to make Java get back on the desktop but you asked what we wanted to see and I gave you my ideas. They were bad. Sorry for this. It wasn't what you were expecting, sorry for this as well as for pissing you up. Passe un bon week-end.

I've followed your job for a while and you are one of the biggest contributors of the community. Regarding your question, I would like to see more on applets and javascript.... I've just released a project that i've working for more than a year and you might be interested in... is something similar to the photo webapp done by jasper for the last J1. I'm just going to give you the keywords (drag and drop, applets, WYSIWYG web editor). Currently is in the form of a facebook app....

Your blog and book have been a great source for people looking to make a GUI in Java that they can be proud of. Or at the very least one that does more than people expect of your typical Java app. I for one have used information gained in your blog in my work and play. I for one thank you. I don't think that people stop and realize that you do this stuff in your spare time, for the benefit of all. It's always easier to gripe about a perceived deficiency than to complement them for what they did correctly. I’m sorry to hear that you get so much flak from the Java community.
