Why not use a Java start instead of other RIA frameworks?

Question

Many RIA frameworks have appeared (flex, extjs, gwt, to name very few).

If my server is written in Java, why not use java-web-launch?

The advantages that I see: I get a program in a language that is easily debugged (compared to javascript), I can use the same code on the server and on the client side (checks, model objects). With SWT, I get a nice graphical interface.

Even if it means that a plugin is required in the browser (or using the cli tool), if my application is a corporate application, does it matter?
