I was surprised to learn this morning that Chet Hasse has left Sun and
joined the folks at Adobe. http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/ I've
followed Chet's contributions to the Swing world for a few years and
he will be missed for sure. I wish him well of course but wonder who
will step up and fill the very large hole that his leaving creates.
Congrats James, this is a huge addition to your group at Adobe.

I don't know him personally, but, I did have an opportunity to chat briefly with him in the airport on the way back from JavaPolis. He was on the same plane back from Europe that I was on. he seemed to me like a person that is fairly direct. So, I tend to believe his stated reasons for going to Adobe. He states one of the major reasons pretty clearly in his first blog post in a new Flex blog:
"One of the things that attracted me to Flex, and to Adobe, was a client platform that enables very rich user experiences; transitions, animations, filters, and just darned good-looking UIs are all pretty exciting to this graphics geek. I hope to be able to help make Flex an even richer platform going forward."
This statement says volumes to me. If *anyone* should know about the merits of JavaFX versus Flex for rich user experience programming, it would be a graphics programming guru at Sun. I don't want to read too much into his career decision to focus on Flex rather than JavaFX, but, it is really hard for me not to.
Unless the difference is substancial... But anyway, offered more might
also mean that for instance he got a position where he would have more
influence and less byrocracy.

We are really excited to have Chet on board! Chet and I will be at the Java Posse Roundup and I hope to meet many of you there! I believe that Chet will also still be speaking at JavaOne on Filthy Rich Clients with Romain Guy.

I can't comment on why Chet left (since I don't know), but I can say that ongoing development of client Java is going very well. Chet was a huge contributor to the team and we will all be using his animation APIs for years to come. While we will certainly miss him (and his horrendously awesome puns) he was one member of a large team with many new and excited developers. We have big plans for client Java. And at the same time I look forward to seeing what Chet will do at Adobe.
