Well, that headline isn't quite right. Writing at the The Register, Matt Stephens actually has many nice things to say about the language itself , but his contempt for how he thinks Sun will market it -- or, more accurately, completely fail to market it -- are blistering. It's "coming to market with Sun's usual poor focus on supporting resources," the lack of an XML dialect "is just really stupid" and so on. Ouch ouch ouch. ...

2008 is going to be an important year for Rich Internet Applications. Most organizations are delivering or planning to deliver Rich Internet Applications; however, at the same time, most IT managers are facing a dilemma: which Rich Internet Application technology and platform to use? The number of different frameworks and libraries is too vast to even consider evaluating a fraction of them. ...

'Should CFML developers switch to Java?' asks Andrew Powell in an article this week at SYS-CON.com. 'No,' he answers. ColdFusion is the fastest way to get data to AJAX, Flex, Silverlight, and even JavaFX, according to Powell, who adds: 'ColdFusion also provides complex services easier than Java, .NET, Ruby or whatever wishes they could.' ...

So sayeth the Register , by which they mean that Sun's RIA play needs some seriously simple-to-use development tools if it's to have a chance against offerings from Adobe. Other gripes (it wouldn't be the Register if there weren't gripes) include the lack of a defined audience for the tools (Web designers? Java-literate programmers?) and snide comments on the quality of the JavaFX UIs coming out in the early demos, something I have to agree with if this is any indication . The whole point of an RIA language is to look slick; primary color squares against a grey background do not inspire confidence. ...

The Tech Per blog is fed up with JavaFX : A couple of weeks ago, while I had a fun day with a bunch of my colleagues, showing them the wonders of flex development, another two of my bright colleagues used that same day, to uncover how far JavaFX is now, and what could be done with the technology today. And the answer was horrifying. It is still not done and production ready. The JavaFX project has been around for quite some time now, and it is still not done. It does not seem to be even remotely close to production quality. It just stays unfinished. But wait! A commentor leaps to the beleaguered technology's defense! We are developing a very large scale enterprise application that will utilize JavaFX. Obviously we considered Flash/Flex and Silverlight, but in the end 'Bet the farm' and chose JavaFX. We have been pleasantly surprised with the advancement of the language and the unbelievable support and commitment we've received from Sun. All I can say is that people are going to be ~very~ surprised. Could anyone point us to any very large scale enterprise applications based on JavaFX in the field right now? We'd be impressed. ...

Jan Erik Paulsen has a good list of what he considers the absolutely must have features for JavaFX . His language is harsh -- "failing to support all these items will result in total failure" -- but his reasoning is simple: these are the features already available on JavaFX's competitors -- Flash, AIR, Nokia/Symbian and the iPhone. A good lesson to keep in mind: JavaFX is exciting to Java developers because it's Java. But nobody who isn't a programmer cares about Java. They want to do stuff, not be impressed by a programming language. ...

It is said that by 2013, 31 percent of all mobile phones will be smart phones, and by then, a smart phone might be almost like a full blown PC. Meanwhile it seems like everyone is trying to push their feet into the blooming mobile phone market. We've seen a lot of ups and downs in this area, lots of promises that haven't been fulfilled. In fact only since the arrival of the iPhone, has surfing the web become reasonable on a mobile phone. ...

Dot neverland is taking a poll to find out . So far, indifference is winning! (As is true with most things in this life.) Other more realistic options that could have been added were "Learn to love Adobe," "weep softly for another missed Java UI opportunity," and "continue to program in it for years insisting that it hasn't flopped at all." ...

The answer was horrifying. It is still not done and production ready. The JavaFX project has been around for quite some time now, and it is still not done. It does not seem to be even remotely close to production quality. It just stays unfinished. Meanwhile, Adobe has great success with the flex framework. Microsoft is pushing its silverlight technology, and will prevail on the Microsoft-minded and VisualStudio-triaged developers soon. But what does Sun and Java has to match up with? The unfinished JavaFX! ...

You may recall that I've featured some of Sven Drieling's work previously in this blog, for example in the JavaFX Animation - Some of Sven's Canvas Tricks post. Well, Sven has updated his animation examples and added to the collection to help us prepare for the JavaFX SDK. Here's a screenshot of Sven's AnimationRadar example, in which he animates an arc-shaped clip of an image to look like the sweep of a radar. Because it's an animation, the running program looks cooler than the static screenshot. :-) ...

Two weeks back in BOJUG meeting, I have seen lot many engineers getting confuse with JavaFX. They want to know how to run FX code in browser. Shall we use applet to run FX code. And many more. Though it tough to explain everything in a small presentation but Harish Singh and we have tried our best to explain some of the queries. Yes, FX can be very well run in an applet. I have written one HelloWorld type of example for running FX code inside applet. Its very well same. *.fx file create a .class file and then handling in the same way as we do with .class file. ...
