Probably a coincidence though. JMC, Scenegraph, JavaFX, G1.. Open source revolution my ass. The “Java Store” is probably the “EULA Store” with Web Start as DRM. Or maybe I'm wrong and the JMC/Scenegraph/JavaFX runtime is "silently" installed the day before JavaOne. Fingers crossed.
This is a demo of how sockets work under a security policy. You can create a (text) Relay server and then start another instance and connect as a client.
PS
If your comment is not showing up..well.. it is because I now have over 14 000 unread email messages.
Two new Hybrid examples added to the Preview section. The URL base resolver code is currently wrong, so you will be asked to download some data from app.teppefall.com.
Created this installer for really lazy people - Teppefall Preview. I built this system for testing, so expect error messages and missing functionality.
I will not be releasing signed versions.
Ignoring people. Empty talk does not pay my bills.
Better than Adobe MP ? OMG ! Meh, no numbers to back it up yet. 40+ threads might be positive. Lean.
Status
You can now select which screen is the primary fullscreen. Entering fullscreen mode and running fullscreen is fast, but exiting fullscreen mode under a non-native LAF might result in a very slow Windows Explorer on Vista for a short time (10 seconds max).
1 - A JWebPane alpha must be released. Yes, now. Even if it is crap.
2 - The legal status of JMediaPane must be clearly defined. And sound support for Windows media would be nice.
3 - The scene graph should be released under a different license. Sun´s GPL licensing is based on wishful thinking and inflated egos. GNU is not Linux.
4 - Will we ever get video capture support (desktop/mobile) ? There is this thing called a camera phone. Maybe Sun developers have seen a picture of one ?
5 - javax.fx.FXPanel ! Or sun.fx.FXPanel ?
Maybe I am repeating myself here, but I feel like I am watching a train wreck in slow motion. Everyone who codes in JavaFX are beginners. Throw the people who know Swing in and out a freaking bone already. Otherwise we will just write crap on our blogs about how JavaFX ate our flapjacks without painting our outhouse.
Warning for OS X users
This example might/will crash your browser. And it is entirely Apple's fault.
First run the media player component (Applet).
http://app.teppefall.com/installer
Then right click and choose "Open URL".
Enter http://app.teppefall.com/t.flv
You will only get audio because of a RuntimeException. This is a show-stopper issue that will affect anyone who does not sign their code. And this error message will give you one hit in Google. A single hit. One.
I just love writing 500 lines of Javascript and 5000 lines of Java for then to...............................
I was playing with my bone (JMediaPane) and then I checked out the rope thingy (JWebPane) and now.. well.. I am just drinking beer because I am waiting for the lawyers.
Woff. Woff.

Performance is better than ever. A window shadow API would be nice though. Poor Vista LAF.
The Teppefall Media Player is now available as a beta for Windows and Mac OS X. Java 1.5 or higher required.
Try running four or more Flash videos at the same time and then compare with the other players. The Adobe Media Player and VLC seems to be less scalable.
Using Substance 5.1 Graphite now. Titanium delayed. Code separation and threading eating my time. Sun developer world feels fragmented and hype oriented. Maybe I am too young ?
Based on public statements from Sun developers, I have decided to postpone my minimal JavaFX research and focus on other things. I think that JavaFX has the potential to become something cool and useful, but if this comes at the expense of Swing, then forget it. There is no way I am building my business on something as immature as Sun's new FX platform. I waited years for Sun to fix Swing bugs and I am not doing that again with JavaFX. I will rather write Objective C, C# or C++. Sun tells us that graphic designers are going to use those JavaFX tools. Are they serious ? A senior designer costs €1000 a day. He is going to sit there and export JavaFX assets one PSD or AI file at a time ? Really ? And then use Netbeans as a "creative tool" ? Has Sun talked to a single design shop that is not on the Sun payroll ? I use the Adobe CS suite all the time and to me the Sun work flow is way too slow.

Then Teppefall branding in the primary JFrame can be removed by adding an application.xml @grabber attribute and setting it to false. You can also remove the tray icon by setting @traymenu to false.
The script attribute is relative to the application.xml, just like the content element.
Hybrid specific application.xml attributes(may change in the future)
@script
@traymenu
@grabber
Still working on the Teppefall Media Player. Not sure if there is any point in creating this software. Hybrid is ignored by pretty much everybody. It is so comical to read 6000 articles about how Flex/GWT/Gears is not private static final volatile boolean TOTAL_VENDOR_LOCK_IN = true; Or about how 12 lines of Groovy will solve all your problems. I could support all the features of the Adobe Media Player, but why spend that much time and money on something that might only be used by a 1000 people.
Anyway, JMC 1.1 was a huge improvement. But I still do not understand the threading model or the seek/timing logic. There is no documentation and I am simply coding in the blind using only public API's. Performance is great and memory use rivals that of the Adobe Media Player. The Adobe player is a bit of a memory hog, but this is simply because of pictures, extra layout, RSS importers, advertising and branding rather than a bad design.
I have some prototype Rome RSS/ATOM based code that solves the channel import problem, but using a custom DOM parser is easier from an API perspective. Unfortunately, the web is filled with "creative" XML and then you go back to Rome again.
Also, fullscreen mode works perfectly and the OSX/PPC libraries have decent performance.

Before doing anything it is important that the developer understands the limitations of SharedVM. The SharedVM system uses the same class loader as the parent caller and the same event system. So one crashing application or blocking dialog box will affect all running applications. Also, the shutdown system is different and might cause problems with shutdown hooks.
Starting one Hybrid application within another Hybrid application can be done in one line of Javascript code. Just point JJHMain to the Adobe AIR descriptor file.
new SharedVM("com.teppefall.hybrid.app.JJHMain", ["../other/stuff.xml"]).start()
Component context:
AssemblyContext.
Browser plugin:
JJHPlugin
Desktop runtime:
JJHMain
Teppefall JJHMain uses the Adobe AIR application property format:
