Yes, in the sense that the answer is "Not at the moment and we can't tell
you when".

Obviously, we can't know if Oracle is being truthful when they say that
JavaFX will be cross platform at some undetermined time in the future, but
we can definitely draw some conclusions from the fact that they chose to
release a Windows-only version first: this is the clear sign that the
development process of JavaFX is not multi platform.

Which should be a concern to everyone with an interest in that field and
quite reminiscent of the disaster that happened with AWT fifteen years ago.

Myself, I just can't understand why there's still even a tiny amount of
people who are interested in JavaFX after Sun proved for fifteen years that
they just weren't very good at this UI framework stuff.
