Ah I see you ment http://processing.org/

From what I can see its mainly focused towards vector graphics and adds 
a simple layer on top of java. Could be kind of useful but does miss a 
lot a necessary features, client-server communication, interface 
elements etc.

Maybe we should start the other way round. Rather than "what could we do 
with this framework", perhaphs focus on "what would we want to do with 
rich client" and then work out which framework would best suit our needs.
