Prism d3d & es2 pipeline + javafx-iio are now open source

[Danno Ferrin]

I am looking at Avian for the VM.

We tried to do some stuff with XMLVM at my day job and opted for straight
native after working with it for a week or so because there are just too
many holes in things like their implementation of the collections API.
 Combined with the low level network stuff we had to do (lower that Java
has APIs for) it was not good enough.

With Avian their web site says you can bring in the whole rt.jar if needed
and compile that byte code.  Put a ProGuard filter in front of it to reduce
the class sizes and stay away from reflection and it looks quite doable.

One path I am interested in but don't have the patience for is to try and
hook it into the ADF Mobile VM.  I don't want to learn JDeveloper at this
point and I also might want to release stuff w/o getting Oracle sales
involved, so that is lower down the 'try it' list.  Perhaps if that is
possible the Oracle sales organization might need come up with a new price
sheet for that deployment scenario, since it wouldn't depend on an ADF
server.  But I'm a techie not a sales engineer so I don't want to wade into
those waters.
