in reply to both, java applets did that appeared before flash, lost cause of different implementations of jvm(java virtual machines) (microsoft implemented a microsoft java virtual machine in internet explorer following no standards) that killed the applets else java would grow in that field and proper IDE's would come. also i think java can be dynamic (reflection) as in we can call dynamic methods on dynamic classes, so in my point of view its pretty flexible
