JavaFX Fail

Dec 04, 2008 23:19

I go to look at the JavaFX demos. I'm redirected by javafx.com to a URL that contains /mac-player.jsp. Write-once-run-anywhere, my ass. Sun's own URL is calling an end to that lie.

JavaFX. Probably needs a U inserted in there somewhere.

Worst OpenID URL ever. And useless content upon clicking it.

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

I think there's an endemic problem somewhere in their distribution division, I've given up bothering with trying to download/obtain anything with /.*java.*/ in it after cursing vehemently about it in the past on more than one occasion.

And to think this is their ticker symbol.

We have several vendors that have java interfaces to their equipment. When we ask them why Java, "because it will run on any OS!"

99.9% of the time that means, "it will run on Windows, using the exact version of Java we wrote it for. And don't you dare upgrade Java, even though that thing in the task bar prompts you every 30 minutes that there is a new version"

Linux support? Bah. Mac support? Maybe. Windows, probably as long as you have hte right Java version.

Java is a joke.
