Sun's JavaFX tools to interop with Adobe
,----[ Quote ]
| James Gosling, Sun vice president and fellow, told Register Developer that
| Sun is working to ensure interoperability - rather than provide its own
| design tools.
|
| "We are putting a lot of effort into interoperability with the Adobe tools -
| a lot of the Adobe tools are wired into the neurons of the artists of the
| world," he said. "We are not trying to be a completely isolated island that
| has all the tools for everybody."
