I find it amazing that any email comparing Java to Scala erupts with comments, while there has been a positive dearth of opinions and discussion on JavaFX. I am tempted to conclude that Scala is indeed a very important movement, judging on the spectrum and intensity of the discussion pro and con. I really haven't seen anything even close for JavaFX. In one of the last podcasts I think I heard Joe say something about preferring JavaFX for some problem domains, and how Java Swing's days are numbered. This did not draw even a whisper of a comment from the list.
Is JavaFX so young that no one is actually using it? Anyone love it or hate it? Anyone? I have used it a bit. I love the concept, but hate the rough edges. My pet peeve has to be the lack of support for annotations and generics. The story around JavaFX is always that you can leverage all of the Java libs. How many modern libs don't use annotations or generics in the interface? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
