PayPal is supporting application payment in the Java Store Beta, a consumer-facing storefront for Java and JavaFX applications. Utilizing the new Adaptive Payment API from PayPal, consumers can authorize the Java Store Beta to bill against their PayPal account so they can simply click the "Buy" button and never have to leave the store.

For-fee applications submitted by developers for distribution in the Java Store Beta range in price from $1.99 to $200.00 (USD). Developers set their own price, receiving 70 percent of any for-fee application sold immediately with this new Sun-PayPal alliance. When a customer makes a payment in the Java Store Beta, the application owner gets paid at the time of the purchase. Developers immediately receive the revenue and know exactly how many people have purchased their application. Developers also are allowed to select the license rights they wish to apply to their application.

"PayPal and Sun are unlocking huge potential for developers around the world to make money for building Java applications," said Osama Bedier, vice president of Platform and Emerging Technology at PayPal. "Sun is leveraging our Adaptive Payments APIs in the Java Store beta to provide real-time payments to developers when their applications are purchased, and a streamlined single-click purchase experience for consumers."

The Java Store is currently available at no cost for U.S. residents as part of the Java Store Beta program. Developers can submit Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) and JavaFX-based applications to the Java Warehouse for distribution in the Java Store Beta by visiting http://java.sun.com/warehouse.

Consumers will find the Java Store contains personal productivity, business, social graph and entertainment software organized in a simple and intuitive user interface. Features of the Java Store include the ability for consumers to first preview applications inside the Java Store, prior to installing them, and then to safely install applications by simply dragging them from the Java Store directly onto their computer desktop. Consumers can visit http://store.java.com to participate in the Java Store Beta program
