Hello,

For those interested in checking out a technology a
few months to it becoming globally famous ;) you want
to look at the RC for Nitrogen for the XWT project.

Some of the awesome features of the updated Nitrogen
core:
- automatic installation on multiple platforms
  (Win32, Linux, Darwin, Solaris, Java)
- opengl acceleration of rendering where possible
- easy to use syntax and API
- automated update process for core and applications
- many, many more features which will be described in
the full Nitrogen release announcement

XWT uses an automated, minimal install to provide a
platform for remote user interfaces for your
applications.  The user interfaces are created using
an XUL-like syntax, a combination of XML and
Javascript.

XWT remains a small download by only keeping in the
core the primitives needed to produce an interface.
There is a separate project called the XWT Widgets
which widgets for XWT written using primitives defined
by XWT.  The updated XWT Widgets are as yet
unreleased.

By using a combination of Java and gcj, XWT can offer
the core in native formats for Windows, Linux,
Darwin-based, and Solaris platforms in addition to
anything supported by Java.  By being native to
particular platforms, XWT can make use of any opengl
acceleration offered by a platform.

This was an unofficial Nitrogen RC1 announcement.
