| Day 2008 Partner Spotlight</h1> |
| <span style="font-style: italic;">The <a |
| href="https://netbeans.org/community/partners/">NetBeans Partner |
| Program</a> |
| recognizes companies that add value to the |
| NetBeans Project by building plugins, endorsing NetBeans |
| as a development environment and/or application platform, and more. At <a |
| href="https://netbeans.org/community/articles/javaone/2008/nb-day.html">NetBeans |
| Day 2008</a>, some of our partner companies will be on-hand to showcase |
| their technologies and to demonstrate the ways to extend and get the |
| most out of the NetBeans IDE! Here's a preview of what to expect.</span><br> |

| <h4>What is dotFX? </h4> |
| <a href="http://www.elixirtech.com/"> |
| </a><span lang="en-US"></span><a href="http://www.dotfx.com/">dotFX</a> |
| is in the business of Live software. We provide a set of essential |
| but powerful runtime services to software. These include click-to-run |
| deployment, incremental install and update, security, online and |
| offline execution modes, and the ability to run any part of the |
| application on any local or remote device. All of these features are |
| available without code modification. Other services, such as customer |
| support, PKI, licensing and billing, are available as paid options. <br> |
| <br> |
| dotFX and JavaFX together make a compelling RIA platform. dotFX handles |
| JavaFX delivery at the client, transparent, incremental updates, |
| client-server communication and supplemental runtime security services. |
| dotFX applications share a single set of JavaFX libraries, so downloads |
| are fast. <br> |
| <br> |
| dotFX combines all the advantages of Web deployment with the power of |
| real client software. Web-oriented business models such as SaaS |
| delivery and billing, metering and monitoring are now available to |
| fully functional client applications. <br> |
| <br> |
| dotFX also enables entirely new deployment modes such as desktop |
| beachheads into which new features (and, in fact, entirely new |
| applications) can be published over time, and media/player bundles |
| that eliminate compatibility problems and greatly facilitate the |
| problem of rights management. The capabilities of dotFX are |
| therefore a distinct superset of Web and desktop.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>How did the company become involved with NetBeans?</h4> |
| Most of the dotFX development team uses NetBeans as their IDE and we |
| maintain a good relationship with members of the NetBeans Engineering |
| and Marketing teams. <br> |
| <br> |
| From a technical perspective, our involvement with |
| NetBeans started when we prototyped what we internally call NetBeans |
| Live to demonstrate that you can take one of the most robust Java |
| applications, and place it on the framework, enabling it as a networked |
| application with all the primary and second order benefits and with |
| virtually no code modification. The area of code modification we |
| decided to showcase for the prototype was that of the native startup |
| code. With the framework, we were able to turn this into a small amount |
| of Java code.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4><a href="../../../../images_www/javaone/2008/dotfx-netbeans-live.png"><img |
| alt="dotFX's NetBeans Live" |
| src="../../../../images_www/javaone/2008/dotfx-netbeans-live-small.png" |
| style="border: 0px solid ; width: 344px; height: 240px;" align="right" |
| hspace="5" vspace="5"></a>What's the current status of NetBeans Live?</h4> |
| NetBeans Live is currently just a prototype. If the NetBeans team and |
| the Java community is interested in exploring this application further, |
| we look forward to that step.<br> |
| <br> |
| NetBeans Live is one complete build delivered incrementally over dotFX. |
| As such there is only one version that is a super set. Only what is |
| used is downloaded, and it is always the latest. Previous versions, as |
| opposed to the latest, could be started seamlessly by having multiple |
| links. Between versions this should provide both roll back but more |
| importantly easy roll forward.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>Can you tell us about what to expect from dotFX at NetBeans |
| Day? </h4> |
| Yes, we have three activities planned:<br> |
| <br> |
| <ul style="margin-left: 50px;"> |
| <li>A dotFX demo booth where we will |
| demonstrate click-to-run technologies of all sorts, for example, the |
| NetBeans plugin and NetBeans Live. In addition, we will show Java |
| applications from open-source that other developers wrote, and we took |
| the code, dropped it into ServerFX without code modification. </li> |
| <li>A |
| 10-minute Lightening Speech presented by Mark Chen, our CTO. |
| (The |
| speech is currently scheduled for when James Gosling is the MC.) </li> |
| <li>A 5-minute video of our Netbeans plugin. </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4>Do you have other events planned for JavaOne? </h4> |
| Developers can find us at Booth 3 at CommunityOne, and at Booth 737 at |
| JavaOne.<br> |
| <br> |
| <h4>What are your future development plans with NetBeans?</h4> |
| Already we have the ClientFX and ServerFX Services plug-in for |
| NetBeans. Later we plan to include InstallFX which allows developers to |
| package applications in dotFX technology. InstallFX produces software |
| installers that are dotFX enabled out of the box. As such applications |
| can install and update the application as live contact, incrementally |
| and can take of both client and server side execution.<br> |
