Hi All,

At least that's my understanding. I could be wrong about that.
But, I'm pretty certain that being able to create Java Client
applications with custom interfaces using Interface Builder has no
future.
I believe David (correct me if I am wrong) was not referring to using
InterfaceBuilder but the ability for D2JC to automagically build an
entire Java thick client without any coding - this still blows my mind!
InterfaceBuilder was never a good tool for building Java GUIs, and it
amazed me (in a weird way) that they could even, or would want to, do
it. There are plenty of other tools for building GUIs in Java that
would work with JavaClient.
I hate to break it to you, but along with the deprecation of the
Xcode based tools, comes the deprecation of D2JC (and also non-
direct to Java Client as well).
Now with regards to the underlying technologies, that may be true,
can someone confirm this? JavaClient and D2JC never really took off,
I believe, mostly because it was way ahead of its time (like WO was
too).
Just wait though, rich clients are the hot topic at the moment in the
Enterprise world, and soon they will realise its a bonus to be able
to do real client-side business processing (a la JavaClient).
It seems, Apple innovates and tries to lead developers who (generally
speaking) have a hard time keeping up. Whereas, Microsoft only goes
where it gets pulled by the market (although things are changing
with .Net).
Cheers,
Ashley.
