Who’s the idiot in Sun who expects us to develop BD-J using NET?
So, there I was getting ready to try out the enseQuence On-Q Studio demo that would allow me to participate in Fox’s Blu-ray contest, when the installer quit and told me I had to have a .NET framework 2.0 installed in my wife’s Windows XP!
Now, granted that I am sometimes at odds with Swing and other desktop developers who turn their regal noses up at anything to do with mobile or other small java stuff, but there is a limit to just how much pain I am willing to inflict on fellow Java developers.
The sad thing was Sun was glibly giving away the demo discs at JavaOne, and the contest flyer had the Sun logo prominently displayed at the bottom.
Needless to say, the demo disc and flyer ended up pretty quickly in the hotel wastebasket. Call me when you’ve a BD-J authoring tool that is actually inexpensive and not an affront to my fellow developers.
