Impacts of web based applications on desktop applications

As the web apps (Java EE) are the flavour of today, everybody prefers to build for the web and usually host on the cloud. Given that premise, it would be interesting to do a session that does not focus on webapps.

We could discuss a number of Java SE app dev topics, such as:

• types of client apps: command line, rich client, etc

• GUI toolkits: Swing, SWT, etc

• Rich Client platforms: Eclipse, Netbeans
