Sun launches Project Orbit
The folks at Sun have been doing a tremendous job getting projects open sourced and released to the community. I'm pleased to announce that Project Orbit has been released by Sun, and is available here:
https://orbit.dev.java.net/
svn repository is here: https://orbit.dev.java.net/source/browse/orbit/
Project Orbit is another runtime for Laszlo that takes the DHTML runtime output and allows it to run in Java ME by emulating the browser DOM. From the main page: 'Project Orbit is the Sun Java ME viewer of Laszlo content. It is a Java ME CDC/Personal Basis application that uses the Rhino engine to run LZX programming language Web 2.0 (AJAX style) applications.'
If you'd like to learn more, I'll be speaking with Hinkmond Wong at JavaOne in San Francisco today at 4:10pm - sorry about the short notice!
There is a lot of low-hanging fruit here - integration with the OpenLaszlo developer's console (a Java radio button), and tighter integration with the OpenLaszlo compiler come to mind. This is a community effort - Sun and OpenLaszlo are relying on folks to pitch in and help move the project forward. If you're looking to contribute to a very cool, forward looking project, here's your chance!

This looks awesome and all, but the Sun page still says OpenLaszlo is in version 3.3 . It seems like the launch hasn’t been announced by Sun yet, but I believe you. Still, will Orbit have some way of dealing with the pain of varying screen sizes and keyboards between phones, like using a CSS sheet (or something like it) to express things by percentage of height/width? Thanks for some great news on the Ajax front.
