2014-11-13 Thread Felix Bembrick
Java applets were the first programs to run inside a web browser and for a (little) while they were flavour of the month. But then along came Flash which had several advantages such as faster load times, consistent loads and antialiased fonts/graphics and soon completely surpassed applets. But

Enhancements to 3D for JFX9?

2015-04-20 Thread Felix Bembrick
As awesome as JavaFX is right now, for me it's greatest weakness especially when compared to competing products is it's extremely rudimentary support for 3D graphics. Even the old Java3D was considerably more advanced. Is beefing up 3D support in JFX9 seen as a priority and if so what features
