So I ask you again, what advantages are there to running java apps on the client?

Two reasons is bandwidth saving on the network and cpu processing savings on the server. When you use Java applications the thin clients do the majority of the processing. The bandwidth demand is the heaviest only when the application is first loaded from the server. Basically you are distributing the work load to the clients and unloading the work from the server.

When Bandwidth increases in the future and Java gets better performance I can see a day when heavy duty applications can run on a thin clients.
