This works quite well. At least with the romain gallery it did pop quite nicely. I pray all the bugs get worked out soon cause I see Applets on the way back into the game and I think this will be one of the starting points.

Suggestion: I think you can use a little HTML, Javascript and CSS magic to spice up the loading of the page. The lower bar at the bottom took the longest to load and I think using some CSS and Javascript you can show something to indicate loading. That end remains blank for too long.

Also I think a nice large LOADING indicator in the central white section might also help. Applets work great but we will need to spice up their load time, and indication. And I thinks for now, since the bugs havent been worked out by SUN, we can just use HTML and CSS.

Nicolas: We are working as fast as we can to get through the legal process to open the source code for IRIS. It should be available at http://iris.dev.java.net as soon as it is approved. Hopefully no longer than a couple weeks.

Where can i get the IRIS sources? Or information about how this demo was implemented? I tried to access to the project on java.net but it’s closed.

Beware: After I ran the slideshow full screen graphics updates such as scrolling pages got very slow and I had to reboot (my drivers are fine; I play OpenGL games all the time).
Also watch out for another problem: there is a bug in Gecko (Firefox) and a bug in the JRE that combined with AdBlock will freeze your browser when downloading the applet classes. It will also crash your browser if there are problems during classloading. The JRE bug can crash Firefox even without adblock and with the fix for Gecko. The Gecko bug is fixed but not released yet. Sun have probably marked their bug as invalid

This was such a crowd-pleaser at JavaOne. I think everyone was blown away by it. Thanks, and please publish more details soon!

Great work!
I usually hate applets, but this demo is *really* nice!

It seems that their is the same problem as Aerith concerning the access of the Flickr account which are free. Can’t access to my flickr accound using the search box ( benjamin_pavie )
Otherwise, as usual with the swing team, beautiful demo…

[…] Iris - Java One Demo Iris is an online photo browsing, editing and slideshow application. It is a smashup of Java Applets and next generation web concepts. Java applets interoperate well with JavaScript in all major web browsers. Makes flickr edits! (tags: Photos Slideshows Java Flickr) […]
