The developer doesn't have to deal with HTML or individual pages, but rather writes a very swing like continous client application. A terminal adapter converts the abstract UI together with a Java Servlet container to the desired themed client side code. In case of Web applications HTML complete with or without JavaScript. Press release millstone home page complex go example game It seems to be a very mature framework, whose first two iterations were used only internally by the developers. It will be interesting to test this library against JSF, tapestry etc. in terms of developer usability and scalability."

Re:How does this compare with Echo? by travisb · 2002-12-12 17:28 · Score: 2, Informative

Millstone does not seam as feature rich. I have downloaded it and after looking at a few classes for some of the features I love in echo I find it lacking for example Button There appears to be no rollover support. It seams that Millstone is a reasonable framework, but I feel that it compares better to AWT then swing where ECHO compares to SWING.
