Finally the java on the client era is over. Initially java was pitched as a client development language, (anyone remember the sun workstations that's only ran a jvm?) - then people realized that java wasn't really cut out for that and it gained traction on the server side. Fortunately nobody in their right mind has used awt for a long time! Now java occupies its place on the server stack and now a jvm can run other languages too.
But java on the client for non developers has not been needed in a long while.
