JavaOne 2008 : Killer Java App and How To Build One

posted Monday, 12 May 2008

Think Java Killer App.  NetBeans.tv has a very cool video of a wonderful photo application - it's an open source digital workflow app called blueMarine. Think beyond Adobe Lightroom and Apple's Aperture.  To make things more interesting it is modular with its own update center.  It is a very clever photo application allowing for planning and executing a photoshoot with detailed maps. Check out the web site here.  You can see vividly what the author's have done on NetBeans.tv.  The video provides a nice walkthrough the application.  Note that blueMarine leverages the NetBeans platform and NASA World Wind.  The author,  Fabrizio Giudici , is a member of the NetBeans Dream Team.  At JavaOne he presented, blueMarine or Why you Should Really Ship Swing Applications, which you 
can find here. This presentation provides a nice look at what he has been doing to create blueMarine.  He explains how he leveraged the NetBeans Rich Client Platform and discussed some of the APIs he used.  He also tours some of the APIs he uses -  the Visual Library, SwingLabs' JXMapViewer and NASA World Wind.  It's a nice look inside the application.
