We should petition for JavaFX to be donated to Apache. JavaFX is a strong well defined product with an enthusiastic community. Any hesitation in companies adopting it is, aside from the rise of HTML5, connected to uncertainty about Oracle’s direction and roadmap for JavaFX. In other words, what JavaFX has missed is a clear governance structure independent from a specific organization. Yes, moving a product from a company to a foundation is frought with danger and unknown unknowns. It does mean people will need to step up and actually stop talking and start coding. But based on our combined experiences with NetBeans in Apache, I’d say that sharing cost of ownership, while risky, is ultimately the right way to go
