What is wrong with Sun/Oracle?! They simply let JavaFX die!
JavaFX has the potential to be better than Flash and of course Silverlight, yet it is the less "pushed", less promoted piece of software (that was created by a company) ever!
It is sad.

Javafx I hope to have ready-made tree, table components, there is the ability to flexibly the layout, so that the layout can be relatively free to develop a useful procedure.
I would like to put my jsf program into javafx procedures, so that can have a greater coverage, and better operating experience.
Unfortunately, javafx the loading speed is still too slow, then quick like, and load a simple scenario also appears slower.
If we can, like jsf + ajax, as the scene switches a little faster, it is really great, javafx development needs to be accelerated ah.
