While I was at Sun’s Menlo Park campus, I had the chance to talk with Sun’s Jeet Kaul and Ken Russell. In part one, Jeet talked about spreading client-side Java across non-traditional devices. In this second part, Ken tells us about the Java applet re-write in Java 6 Update 10 and how that helps lay the foundation for JavaFX.

I get asked a lot about this aspect of Java, namely, “have they fixed applets yet?” so it was great to get the skinny from Ken. If you’re interested in this, you’d probably also like the recent interview with Danny Coward.

Disclosure: Sun is a client and sponsored this episode.
