I suspect Oracle/Sun wants to mandate shipment of JavaFX with every
Android device or some such.
Clearly the platform is open enough that no one is stopping them for
shipping JavaFX for it.

Do The Deal!?! Get JavaFX on the Android platform today!
There's that thing again. Please explain what's currently holding
JavaFX back from running on Android? Sun/Oracle could just do it.
Casper, the DID it :-) Two years ago:

This is what can be publicly demonstrated. Now you can figure out that
while it would not violate any law to distribute it, a big, healthy
corporate has many ways to inhibit a not-so-healthy corporate from
doing something. And it's not only a Sun-Google game, since going
beyond emulators involves phone manufacturers. As I have said, there
are only rumors well known in the JavaFX community about that, but
they are pretty strong and they are about Google _not wanting_ to see
JavaFX-on-the-whole running on Android.
BTW - looking at http://javafx.com/faq/ I read:
2.5 Can JavaFX applications run on an Android handset?
JavaFX is capable of running on nearly any mobile operating system,
assuming the necessary runtime files have been preloaded on the
device. Device manufacturers that are interested in including JavaFX
Mobile with their Android-based handsets are encouraged to contact
Oracle for further details.
I'm just curious on whether this "Device manufacturers... are
encouraged" was already present before January or not. No luck with
archive.org. If it's a new Oracle thing, maybe is it part of the deal?
