what about sensitivity to actual drag operations? Otherwise, it can be difficult to distinguish between mouse click and drag operation. A good base class should only trigger drag if mouse movement exceeds a particular viewport distance.

Holy Heckle and Jeckle: Scripting for MIDP/Java ME technology  (blogs.sun.com)  

David N. Welton pointed out (in one of my blog post comments) that he has a cool tool for writing MIDlets from a Web browser using his and Wolfgang Kechel's open source Mobile scripting language called Hecl. See: Heck, it's a Mobile scripting language called Hecl Here's a quote: The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level, open source scripting language implemented in Java. It is intended to be small, extensible, extremely flexible, and easy to learn and use. Infact, it's small enough that it runs on J2ME-enabled cell phones! You take one of the existing script examples or write your own and see it running in a Java applet. They you can also run it on your Java ME cell phone. Geez, all the new and interesting things people have done with Java ME technology--it just doesn't ever stop! Hinkmond

Ken Russell  (blogs.sun.com)  

In the course of just one year, Ken Russell and a handful of his colleagues in the Sun software group reimagined and redesigned the Java plug-in -- the code that goes into Web browsers so they can launch and run Java applications. They made it smaller, faster, more reliable -- and they taught it to do new tricks. "There are some rough edges in the new system," Russell says, "but in terms of achieving a goal that isn't possible with any other Web technology at the moment, I think we did pretty well." Softare CTO Bob Brewin is less circumspect. He says the new Java plug-in stands to "revolutionize the concept of deployment of applications via the Web." More

Need more than Preview Mode - JavaFX  (blogs.sun.com)  

JavaFX Preview SDK came up somewhere in the middle of last month. It is no doubt one of the important thing required. But still the preview is not enough to remove the tiny complexity. I don't do lot of JavaFX coding, but whatever I do, most of the time I spend in putting the circle at right place, adjusting the rectangle corners, making the polygon of the correct shape, where to put the image and many more. Because the preview generates a code which need a lot of modification(why not builder makes it for me). 

Here how it works :

When I drag the line on my code part, it will write something like :

Line {
                startX: 10, startY: 10
                endX: 230, endY: 100
                strokeWidth: 1
                stroke: Color.BLACK
        }

Which is my partial requirement. I want my line to go in the position where it is required in the output window, not a default one. Would love to see Screen View or Output View or Image View where I can draw the objects like Circle, Line, Polygon, Image and drop at a point where it is required in the Output Window. I mean, simply how it happens in Flash or happens in Paint. When I drag say Circle, it comes into editable mode, I can do operation on it, I can increase its radius, I can change the center, I can fill the color and many more and finally settle down at the right position.

If I am not wrong, then we all invest(waste) 20-30 percent of the time still in putting stuff at right position. Talking about the complex drawing, say like making a face, it will take more than 40 percent of time. Why not we can have a View which do that for us. It is just my personal opinion, for rest JavaFX preview is simple and sober. I am damn sure, FX Engineers are working on this. Say if all this is done, poor developer like me can put more brain on writing logic code like Mouse Movement, Key Events, Binding calls(even binding should be done by Builder) and more.
