I quite like the JavaFX technology however I am skeptical whether it is going to be really popular outside the communities who use SWING. I wanted it to take off but so far things seem to have fallen short of the hype at the launch of JavaFX 1.0. I wonder if it is coming too late for mass adoption. The JVM modularity issues to improve the startup time are now not definitely going to be in Java 8 and that is not due until next year.
In the mean time Apple and others seem to be trying to kill all plugin based technology. JavaME which it could build on in the mobile space is going into decline (at least in the western world). I don't hear about JavaFX TV only Google TV these days. It seems a shame as a lot of hard work has gone into JavaFX. In the sort term I am too busy to get distracted playing with JavaFX 2.0 while I have a lot of deadlines to meet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
