My blog called "JavaFX != JavaFX Script" over a year ago, actually, and some details have changed. (though the core awesomenesss of what is now called JavaSE 6 update 10 has not changed).
Yes, a week or two ago I did talk about how Swing & Enterprise is still a focus, and that's still true. However, Sun can only launch one thing at a time and still get press (much like any company, even Apple). A few weeks ago we talked about JavaSE 6 update 10. Then NetBeans 6.5. Now it's JavaFX. Until we have something to actually announce about cool new Swing features we probably won't talk about it. All that said, there are two samples you'll see on Thursday which show you how to mix existing Swing components inside of a JavaFX scene, and how to use JavaFX components inside of a Swing Frame. So you can definitely use them together to do cool things. And that's something we are talking about today (well, thursday). What we aren't talking about (yet) is stuff coming in Java 7. One thing at a time. (we're tired!) And BTW, I want to thank you all for your passionate feedback. We do listen and it does affect our development. We appreciate it. It takes passionate people to build a great platform. - Josh On Dec 2, 2008, at 5:40 PM, osbald wrote: > >> We do have plans to let the scenegraph and media (Java Media >> Component >> or JMC) have Java apis, but we don't have any public details right >> now >> and I can't say when we will. > >> Right now our publicity focus is on JavaFX.
