Rave, SDKs, and new technology permeated the Sun One Conference In San Francisco this year. Project Rave was one of the new technologies displayed. Based on the JavaServer Faces technology, drag-and-drop layout of user interfaces and component infrastructures facilitate rapid application design (RAD) on servers running J2EE.

Project Relator complements Rave by providing a RAD environment that links server services to client applications on mobile devices. A new initiative for unified testing of mobile Java-based devices was also announced. All of the major handset vendors — Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, and Sony Ericsson — signed on. This will greatly improve cross-platform compatibility. . .
