Things on Griffon and Greet have been chugging along. Just a soon as Groovy 1.6 Beta 2 ships I'll likely be ready for a 0.0 release, and such. (Remember, we are all computer scientists, and we start counting from zero). In the meantime here is an applet of the main demo for Griffon. This works best with the 6u10 release, and it may not work in your RSS readers either.
This is using Josh Marinacci's Applet Poster Frames, so click on the image below to get started.
If you would like to look at the code (1) SVN sync http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/modules/griffon/ and (2) Dude, ur a hax0rz now!!!!oneelevenone!. Seriosly though, a proper tutorial will accompany the 0.0 release in a few weeks.
Enjoy!

Amazing job! Applets on 6u10 are pretty nice :) This may make twitter slightly tolerable in my eyes :)

It is an understatement to say that "Griffon is to Desktop as Grails is to Webapps". GREAT JOB, . . . I have been dabbling in Griffon and look forward to future release.
Kudos to the entire Griffon Team.

Griffon could be a hope even for me...
But the applet cannot start:

Ubuntu Intreped Ibex (7.10) hasn't been released yet. Are you sure it's not something messed up in the pre-beta distro? I'de need more info from the java console (cranked up to log level before laoding the applet) to see what the issue is. Could be a bad local cache, not having the right signing authorities, the signature could have been autmoatically decliend, etc.

Need more than just a stack trace. There is somehting wrong with the cache, but I'm not sure what.
What JDK version?
Can I get a full trace from the java console? (open up the console, type '5', clear it, and reload the page)?
And really, this should be a jira issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRIFFON

Fixed it. The problem with updating live code is that all the applets that reference it need to be kept in sync. In this case some file names changed, in this case just the case of a file name. 6u10 worked like a champ because it references a jnlp file that updates with the change. But old-world plugins references the jars in-tag, requiring an update.
So really, this is an example of how another layer of indirection not only solves a problem, but increases reliability when it is used properly.
