Hi, This month's edition of JavaWorld (http://www.javaworld.com) features a cover article by yours truly about my VNCj library ("Remote Control Java"). It is now in version 1.0, fully supporting JDK 1.4, and clean of most bugs. Use VNCj to create powerful VNC _application servers_ (as opposed to desktop servers, the more common use of VNC) very quickly using standard Java GUI (Swing and AWT) and graphics libraries. And extensions that are based on these standards (such as 3D and GIS) should also work. It's an good way to distribute a complex service right now without requiring users to install clients. It is a strong platform for developing management modules for software/hardware devices, especially those for which HTML just won't do. And if your network already is using a lot of VNC, it's a good way to create services on-the-fly. VNCj supports all the standard encodings and shared sessions. Cheers, Tal Liron
