The JavaFX Effect

Furthering the promise of “write once, run anywhere”, Sun's exciting new product family, called JavaFX, is enabling developers to build compelling, rich user interfaces that leverage Java for a wide spectrum of devices.

Sun CTO Bob Brewin joins Vice President of Global Systems Engineering, Hal Stern, on this latest edition of Innovating@Sun to chat about the software technologies driving the evolution of integrated rich clients – namely, clients in a plethora of screen formats from TVs to in-dash car systems to webtops, all leveraging the services and content available on the Internet.

The Java FX family with JavaFX Script allows developers to write in a consistent, standard, declarative scripting language, targeting devices in the same manner, regardless of what platform they’re deploying to. Notable points include:

  • Capabilities of JavaFX Script and JavaFX Mobile
  • The place of JavaFX in the content-/driven/ explosion where user-generated content is driving the applications
  • Packing capabilities into clients that allow for more interesting and useful applications
  • How a declarative scripting language, specifically targeted at creating Java UIs makes it easier to build content-rich applications
  • Continuing the trend of code reuse and applying it to UI
  • How “write once, run anywhere” is achieved as developers write to the same set of APIs at the UI level
