Releases of JavaFX

The JavaFX compiler converts the JavaFX script code into compiled java code. One has to compile the entire JavaFX program, thus by getting all the code in Java which makes the compilation faster. The added NetBeans Plug-ins will enable JavaFX to be developed in the Interface Devlopment Environnment (IDE). According to Chet Haase, Sun Java Chief Client Architect, JavaFX programs will be available as NetBeans Projects. Both the NetBeans 5.5 and 6.0 plug-ins are available now. The NetBeans 6.0 Version has features of JavaFXPad integration tool which enables the web developers in creating graphical components using JavaFX Script.

JavaFX is intended to make the development of custom-based applications more faster and easier. As Chet Haase said, “It will include websites with rich animations and user interfaces that are more dynamic than a typical forms-based application”.

JavaFX is likely to extend its capability beyond the advantages offered by AJAX. AJAX is not rich in user interface development as it is still now more about creating static web pages. But JavaFX is intended to more dynamic user interface development.

Sun’s business strategy is to make the further development of the JavaFX Compiler in the open source community. The current JavaFX Preview SDK libraries will remain on OpenJFX.com. The efforts subject to the enhancement of the JavaFX platform have to be made by Sun with its internal development and in the further releases new features are to be consequently added.
