Twitter Client Demo

The aim of Bck2Brwsr is to bring Java back to browsers. To demonstrate that it is possible, there is an online Twitter client demo. Visit Twttr Client to see Java running in your plugin-less (e.g. no need to hava Java installed) browser.

In case you are curious how the above has been achieved and you are willing to spend few more minutes with the project, here are steps to get the Java to your browser as well:

$ hg clone https://hg.java.net/hg/html~demo
$ cd html~demo/twitter/
$ mvn install bck2brwsr:brwsr

If everything goes well you should see JavaFX's WebView component (if you have JDK7 with JavaFX) showing tweets from famous tweeters (if your JDK knows how to pass through your HTTP proxy).
