Galileo is a pure Java framework used to create browser-based Rich Internet Applications, Desktop Applications, and Mobile Device Applications. It was originally created to provide RIA developers with an alternative to other RIA technologies such as JavaScript, Adobe Flex, and server-side generated user interfaces, but due to interest expressed by many developers, Galileo is now being extended to support the development of Desktop and Mobile Device applications as well.
