Foil 12 What's wrong with Java Clients?

From Object Models, Distance Education and Collaboration Seminar at Kodak Rochester -- 29 March 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Well there is the battles between Sun Netscape and Microsoft which makes Java on the client less robust than Java on the server
However Java allows to build totally general users interfaces and there appear to be no rules.
Thus it does not seem practical to build cross disability interfaces for arbitrary Java applet interfaces
On the other JavaScript and dynamic HTML can do many things that you might have thought one needed Java for
General Java visual interfaces need languages such as UML to describe interface object model?
