It's not just now that Sun is proposing the toolkit. The toolkit has 
been in development for around 18-24 months. It's just now readily 
available through the M&E Community and the lwuit project page. 
Basically it's at version 1 now and will be open sourced sometime this 
summer.

I would certainly encourage you to move forward with Kuix. In fact move 
it into the M&E Community if you like, but I'd also encourage you to 
look at lwuit and see where additional support can be offered. Lwuit 
does have the support of at least one US carrier and is garnering 
support from individual developers.

That said, the more projects work together, either separately in their 
own projects or within a single project the better UI toolkit offerings 
will be.
