There is a new scripting language in development called F3 from Sun, specifically designed for GUI programming. It allows designing Flash-like GUIs with ease and can call Java libraries directly. You can launch demos and get more information from the related blog.

Hi,

is it similar to Microsofts Avalon (Windows Presentation Foundation)? Because with Avalon you can create flash like GUIs too.

Greetings

XAML is not a bad technology (it is not really directly Dependant to .net or windows i assume, like Xul), would be a good thing to implement a Java version of that too. However, since MS is behind, i may expect them to tie it to .Net, windows or IE somehow.
