thought i'd share some myjxta and prefuse eye candy:

we need to do some tuning. at present i'm using a directed graph but i think the radial graph w/ forces would work nicely for traversing a jxta net, etc. we also need to figure out how to dynamically update the ui. that should be trivial. i added in hooks and the underlying loader is collecting dynamic updates yet the ui is not refreshed. hmmmmmm. any/all prefuse pointers are welcomed. this tool rocks!

taking a cue from jclingan i decided to chill a bit from the 3w myjxta hack fest [we have a new release in the works] that i have worked my ar$e off as of late and see about integrating prefuse into the mix. well, 3h (late night) later we have "graphs galore." that prefuse is bloody amazing. i hear the author likes beer.

note to self: buy the lad some beer(s).

i've been thinking of adding in such a widget for awhile now as we need to proof out a true plugin model ... and this baby is just the ticket. next up we need to add in dynamic updates, as peers come and go in the adhoc network we live in. i wouldn't have it any other way.

if you'd like to give it a go, come one now ... you know you wanna, give the nightlies a spin. there's a webstart link so if you are running tiger (you are running tiger aren't you) you are one click away from p2p'dom.

thx jc!
thx prefuse!

good times had by all.
