Nimbus L&F; Update
Jasper Potts has posted a Nimbus L&F; Update: "So it has been a while since I blogged about Nimbus, Java One has come and gone and I am sure you are all wondering whats happening to it. Well things have changed for Nimbus since it was announced at Desktop Matters conference in March. The initial plan was for Nimbus to be a open source project jointly run by Ben Galbraith and myself. In early prototype I hacked together thats available from nimbus.dev.java.net was very well accepted both inside Sun and in the swing community. As a result a decision was made to bring the Nimbus L&F; into the JDK as part of the new Consumer JRE."

Java Web Start Technology and Application Clients in the GlassFish Application Server
A new SDN article by Tim Quinn and Rick Palkovic looks at Java Web Start Technology and Application Clients in the GlassFish Application Server. "To make this capability available, you do not need to develop your application differently or distribute any files to end-user systems yourself. Launching application clients with Java Web Start software overcomes the distribution problems that have historically impeded widespread use of application clients. The GlassFish application server provides Java Web Start support automatically, providing the feature without any extra effort from you as a developer or administrator."
