God forbid someone should think something positive was said about Java.
> Java FX was convenient for data visualization
Was? They clearly gush over it and mention that they are replacing legacy systems with Java - without specifying 'data visualization' as the only use.
"At the FDF [Flight Dynamics Facility] we’ve been using Java for all of our new application development, and intend to continue doing so".
> mission control and other realtime stuff definitely not java.
"Definitely" is your interjection. "JavaFX [..] start out as ‘nice to have’s, the usefulness quickly becomes apparent in the operations environment. Before long, JavaFX becomes a first class citizen in the ground system software."
They seem to be happy with it and not precluding any particular uses.
- analognoise 11y ago"Ground system software" is the software that isn't part of the platform - the same verbiage is used for aerospace development. I've worked on bomber platforms that had test software written in Labview, and I'd say the same thing - "definitely not mission control or platform software".
- vonmoltke 11y agoThe operator console software for the Distributed Common Ground System is written in Java. So is at least some of the operator console software aboard the P-8 Posiden. Both of those cover "mission control" for their respective systems.
- pron 11y agoAs I said in another comment, Java is most definitely used to write hard realtime, safety-critical software in both embedded and server systems.
