Chet Haase posts point-by-point JavaFX/Flex comparison
Chet Haase, one-time java.net blogger and former architect in Sun's Java client group, now at Adobe, has posted a point-by-point comparison of JavaFX and Flex to the flexcoders Yahoo group. He compares maturity, language traits, GUI capabilities, tooling, and runtime availability. "Having been on the inside of both of these projects, here are some points of comparison. I'm attempting to be objective here and just point out some of the areas to consider. But since I used to work at Sun on Java/JavaFX and now work on the Flex team at Adobe you should filter appropriately."

Customizing the Menu / MenuBar
I have some things that I would need to chage in the behaviour of the MenuBar: 1) Write something in the center of the bar, like "OK" (this should be changable) to indicate what the FIRE button does. 2) Draw images to the left and right of the OK string (arrows, e.g. for indicating whether the form or a component is scrollable). 3) The command from the left soft button should not move to the menu when opening it with the right soft button, it should stay on the left side. —
Re: z-ordering
Generally z-ordering costs, which is why it is not on by default for other layout managers. It wouldn't make sense for the current layout managers either since they don't allow overlapping anyway. isOverlapSupported allows a layout to indicate it supports z-ordering, so you can derive BorderLayout and make all elements "peek" then return true from is overlap supported and everything will work as you expect... Since isOverlapSupported returns false by default z-ordering is "cost free" if you don't use it. —
[webtier] Woodstock / NB6.5 / Alternatives
Given that Woodstock is dead, and that NB6.5 has shipped with the same borken Woodstock libraries, and the bugs that I found with Woodstock bundled with NB6.1 are still present, can anyone suggest the best approach to satisfy the following requirement: - I need to build JSF pages in NB that include rich components, in particular rich tables and "add/remove" lists. - I need libraries and a source project that are documented, relatively complete, and not abandoned. —
