JavaFX is the RIA technology
from Sun. Sun is behind others in the RIA space, including Adobe and
Microsoft, but is looking to make up for lost time through its
expertise in the Java community.
Sun Microsystems is rolling out
the preview release of JavaFX, its rich client platform for building
RIAs (rich Internet applications). Sun made the announcement July 31
and made the JavaFX Preview release available here.
The
JavaFX Preview release provides Web scripters, designers and Java
developers with a preview of the runtime and tools needed to create
RIAs on the Java platform. Developers can download the JavaFX Preview
release, explore the code samples and tutorials, start writing JavaFX
applications and provide their feedback to Sun , said Jacob Lehrbaum,
senior product line manager of JavaFX for Sun.
