X terminal, nope, too big...

If Sun did anything with Java, having full X terminal
capability on the client would be overkill. Instead,
they would have a much simpler set of graphics primitives.
The Sun Ray appliance, and iPlanet implement virtual
device drivers that can draw that simpler set of
primitives, but without implementing a full X terminal.
