JavaFX 1.0 is HERE!
JavaFX version 1.0 has been released!
And guess what?
NetBeans IDE 6.5 is the official IDE for JavaFX Development
And guess what?
NetBeans IDE 6.5 is the official IDE for JavaFX Development
For more details check JavaFX on netbeans.org:
"The official IDE for JavaFX development
Use the Update Center (Tools > Plugins) to install JavaFX 1.0 into your existing installation of NetBeans IDE 6.5. If you don't have the NetBeans IDE 6.5 installed, download the NetBeans IDE for JavaFX here. "
As stated above the NetBeans download pages have been slightly modified to welcome JavaFX 1.0 support:
Note that it is available for Windows and MacOS only.
It reminds a post I did some time ago with early version of JavaFX. At the time it was necessary to use NetBeans 6.1. Now we can finally use 6.5 and all they improvements it came with. I'm also curious about the new and cool features of JavaFX 1.0...
But perhaps someone out there already had chance to try it out?

I was waiting for final release of JavaFX 1.0 for a long time, because of multiplatform video support. In fact I was waiting for Java Media Components (Java 7 core), but JavaFX includes this video support in advance.
But I thought that Linux/Solaris support will be added in the final release 1.0 :-( and it's still only for Windows/Mac OS X. Linux support is very important to me. It seems I will continue waiting for more finished version... In the meantime, I will be using old Java Media Framework for videa and external JMF plugins for better media support in Linux... it's more complicated for users, apart from problematic 64bit Linux support, but I hope that Java 7 or future release of JavaFX for Linux and Solaris will soon solve it.
I tried it, it's nice I can use NetBeans 6.5 for JavaFX 1.0 now, thanks :)
