Avatar as Alternative for Java Server Faces (JSF) and JavaFX? – JavaOne 2012

Web applications are realized with HTML5 and JavaScript (Nashorn implementation) on client-side, and Java EE backend on server-side. Avatar is also suitable for creating mobile applications (smartphone, tablet), because it does not depend on a browser plugin.
