blueMarine, photographic workflow with Java - or Why You Should Really Ship Swing Applications.
In the last two years we've seen increasing efforts by Sun
Microsystems to revamp Java on the desktop - what somebody called "the
Swing Renaissance". First, most of the performance issues have been
solved; then we have now many more components thanks to SwingLabs and
other third parties' projects; we have better Look and Feels too; last
but not least, gurus such as Romain Guy have been demonstrating how to
build cool and effective GUIs with Swing. It's high time to apply the
learned lesson to some real product.
In this talk we will show you the blueMarine project, an opensource desktop application to support the photographic workflow. blueMarine is being designed following the best practices for the creation of a 'filthy rich client', from animations to the use of JOGL, and taking advantage of the rich framework delivered by the NetBeans Rich Client Platform.
