I dunno mate. I wouldnt rule out client-side Java completely.
Came across a company called Nexaweb who have an interesting solution
for the rich client problem which uses a 1.1 compatible applet for the
client side, but has its own set of lightweight widgets (ie: not Swing).
They have some online demos that are definately worth taking a look at.

(Its not free or open source though)
