JavaFX Preview Out

New JavaFX Preview to Create Sexy RIAs On PCs, Mobile, TV and Other Consumer Devices On the Java Platform

Aug. 1, 2008 02:54 PM

Sun has released a JavaFX preview to create sexy rich Internet applications (RIAs) on PCs, mobile, TV and other consumer devices on the Java platform.

It’s not ready for commercial applications yet; Sun is looking for feedback.

The widgetry includes an SDK, a NetBeans IDE, a tool for exporting creative assets from Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to JavaFX applications called Project Nile and a Java runtime beta that’s supposed to drag a live running applet out of a browser and dynamically transform it into an application running on the desktop.

JavaFX for Desktop is due in the fall and JavaFX for Mobile should turn up in the spring.
