The Unidata Program's transition to Java presents a unique
opportunity for users to help shape a new suite of display and
analysis applications for the atmospheric sciences. With the
guidance of a group of users from the Unidata community, Unidata
developers have begun creating some prototype meteorological
applications in Java. The goals of this effort include the creation
of a component-oriented framework that supports easy construction of
custom applications. We review some lessons learned from the current
prototype applications, demonstrate the use of an application
constructed from components, and discuss the benefits of this kind of
software for research and education.
