Java Real-Time System, Version 2.1 Available Now [20363]
Available Now - Cool demo given at Java One
The Sun Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) is Sun's commercial implementation of the Real-Time Specification for Java (JSR-001). Implementations of the Java RTS make standard Java technology more deterministic and enable it to meet rigorous timing requirements for mission-critical real-time applications.
After several months of testing, the Sun Java Real-Time System version 2.1 (Java RTS 2.1) is now available. The Java RTS gives users unprecedented control over their Java code execution including thread priorities and whether or not an activity should be interrupted by garbage collection.

JavaFX Script Tutorial Series [20375]
Provides the Basic Tools You Need to Get Started
JavaFX Script is a new scripting language that developers can use to create dynamic graphical content. While the language provides libraries on the desktop to help you use the Swing user interface (UI) toolkit and Java 2D APIs conveniently, it doesn't replace either Swing or Java 2D; the goal is to make those APIs more accessible to rich content developers. In other environments, such as mobile systems, JavaFX Script makes use of user interface technologies other than Swing. This tutorial series on JavaFX Script enables you to write visually rich applications that run across platforms and operating environments.

Using Grizzly For Good HTTP Performance
GlassFish vs. Tomcat: Alexis MP mulls over the virtues of both, noting that, with the advent of Grizzly -- the http frontend of the application server -- one no longer requires the use of Apache web server in front since Grizzly is Java-based and integrated into the application server. (Already easier to use.)

Creating JavaFX Script Objects and Using Them in Java Programs [20147]
Exploiting the Inherent Strengths of JavaFX Scripts
Michael Heinrichs has written a Sun Developer Network article on "Using JavaFX Script Objects in Java Programs." This process is a fairly easy one, he maintains, because JavaFX Script was designed to enable the use of Java objects and because the necessary instruments are built right into the language. He demonstrates possible ways to create JavaFX objects and to use them in Java code.
