The JavaFX Roadmap promises a set of Blueprint applications, but this is not yet available, will probably appear later in the beta cycle or maybe only at FCS. Hopefully these blueprints will include some good samples of "old fashioned" GUIs, with lots of forms, grids, dialogs, drilldowns, maybe a few serious business charts - but NO web, media, twitter, google maps, etc.
