Oracle JavaFX 2.0: What you need to know

You can use JavaFX 2.0 to integrate both media and Web content into your application.

Java currently has 9 million developers around the world and its products are used in just about any device, from computers to mobile phones.  JavaFX 2.0 is the latest iteration of the Java platform.

JavaFX allows developers to create rich Internet applications that they can deploy on different platforms.  You code once and run your program on computers, mobile phones and other devices.

Simply put, JavaFX allows you to work with a set of media and graphics packages.  These packages enable application developers to create, design, deploy, test and debug rich client apps that operate the way it should, regardless of where you run it.

What’s more, you are working with Java technology and you can have access to media and graphics APIs that will help you lessen the amount of time you spend on development.   Not only that, you get all the benefits of using Java when you work with the JavaFX platform, such as being able to use existing Java development tools and extending your Swing applications.  What’s more, you can use your current skills in Java programming to work with JavaFX.

JavaFX 2.0 allows you to simplify code maintenance by separating the logic and user interface of your application.  JavaFX makes use of cascading style sheets, so style and appearance are not mixed with implementation.

You can use JavaFX 2.0 to integrate both media and Web content into your application.  It is also possible to have a graphics-rich app without slowing down performance.

You can get more out of the Swing applications that you already have while also being able to build more sophisticated UIs.

Lastly, you could also use a browser to launch your applications, whether as a Web Start or a desktop app.
