Disclaimer

    Beware!


    This presentation contains bad

    words:
        Corporate
    

        IE5
    

        Browser war I
    

        Java
    

        MozSwing
    

    Ready?

Disclaimer (again)

    Beware!


    In this presentation, Firefox usually

    means XulRunner
    (But who cares outside of this

    room?)
Yet another day in the industry
    1999


      « - Let’s code a web app with powerful
    

    client side features »
     « - Great! Let’s code it for … IE5 »




    2009


        « - The project is ready, at last ! »
    

        « - Great! Let’s try it on my new
    

           Windows Vista »
Facing the truth

    The browser war is still painful,

    several years after.

    There is a need for a true corporate

    browser.

    A message to managers:


        NO! IE is not the corporate browser.
    
Firefox, the corporate browser?

    Answer:




    …




    YES!!!




    Ooops, well, I mean NO!!!!

Why not?

    Problem 1: legacy!!!


        What about that IE5 app?
    

        What about that ERP which requires IE?
    




    Problem 2: poor marketing


        « Firefox is yet another browser »
    

        NO! Firefox is a Platform!
    
Firefox as a Platform

    Firefox   is open source


    Firefox   is OS-agnostic


    Firefox   has XUL


    Firefox   is plug-in based


    Firefox   is embeddable


    Firefox   can accept Java « scripting »

Java???
    Ask yourself:


    What platform is trully universal on the

    client side, in the industry?

    Answer:


    The JRE.




    Reason:


    Unknown but it is a fact!

And now… the corporate browser

    Firefox is embeddable as a Swing

    component (cf MozSwing)
    Java apps are one-click deployable


    Java libs are huge and accepted




    == Firefox+Java is the corporate

    browser!
Summary

    Thanks to MozSwing, Java and

    Firefox can work together

    A tremendous client-side platform:


        OS agnostic
    

        Instant deployment
    

        No more browser incompatibilities
    

        Huge client-side features
    
Conclusion




    MozSwing should be supported by

    the Mozilla foundation
Who I am

    Datao.net


    A Semantic Web Browser.


    A semantic client-side platform:


        Embedded Semantic Web Stack
    

        Java Web Start for deployment
    

        XulRunner as the UI
    

    The feature I would love to see:


        Templates in the HTML pipeline.
    
