This is in fact one of the features we’re adding to the next release, among a number of improvements. I am looking forward to getting an updated release out as soon as possible.

Hi,

Great work on the Scenic View tool. I think we need more tools like this, particularly it would also be awesome to be able to update the scenes css on the fly during runtime like firebug.

Thanks a lot for the hint! I’ve run into this problem before without knowing its source. Didn’t really try to get to the bottom of it since I’m only rarely using VPN.

Another possibility is to force-disable IPv6 in Java by setting the system property from the command line, like so:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
but in my case your method is much less cumbersome.

Regards

I have the same issue under win 7 x64 with jdk1.6.29. I have tried disabling ipv6 with no luck. Anyone else ever have this issue? I can run the same code with win xp w/ anyconnect and no issues.

My understanding (as per the discussion here) is that it is a change in behavior in Java 7, and a bug in AnyConnect that it doesn't work well against IPv6. Of course, I'm not sure what the real issues are - just that this change above resolved the issue for me.

In order for this workaround to work, you have to restart your VPN connection.

Is this a Java 7 bug?

Too bad. Mobile is already the new “Client” for some of our customers, so we are very interested in Oracle plans for that.

C# developers already have MonoDroid & MonoTouch which provide AOT compiling and binding to native controls. Even with JavaScript & PhoneGap you can build an app that gives you native inputs and browser features.

Will JavaFX provide support for native controls too(SWT way)? Otherwise it would be an option only for games & apps with some highly customized UI. Or we’ll get the next non-native-swing-apps again, just on mobile now.
