Java FX from SUN

Analysts point out a significant increase in interest in RIA (Rich Internet Application) applications, since at the beginning of 2006, an average of 3,000 copies of books devoted to RIA development were sold a month, and by the end of the year this figure jumped to 7,000.

Naturally, such a state of affairs could not leave indifferent the leading software companies of the world. As a result, Microsoft makes its Silverlight, and Sun creates Java FX.

Java FX is an extension that is based on the usual JVM, allowing you to create “rich” web applications. Unlike other platforms (AJAX, Flash, Silverlite), Sun does not create a fork (!), Interactivity and multimedia are already embedded in Java, therefore It is logical to allow web developers to provide these tools when creating programs for the Web. And there are no restrictions on the use of libraries already created for Java SE / ME.

Moreover, Java FX developers promise that their brainchild will allow developing high-tech applications that work equally well on mobile devices, home and office computers, and the displayed content will no longer depend on the operating system. This will allow in practice to implement the principle “We write once, we use many times”. Let me remind you that Java is already working in IE and FireFox, as well as on mobile devices such as cell phones and handhelds.

Lastly, I note that all this “joy” will be available only if there is Java + Java FX on the client side.
