JavaFX Script alive and well in Project Visage
By Jacob Lehrbaum on Oct 20, 2010
As you are most likely aware, Oracle announced at JavaOne 2010 that JavaFX Script was being replaced with a pure Java API. This transition brings the following benefits:
- Allow the use of powerful Java features such as generics, annotations, and multi-threading
- Make it easier for Web developers to use JavaFX from other popular dynamic languages such as JRuby, Groovy, and JavaScript
- Allow Java developers to use other system languages such as Scala which run on the JVM for writing large or complex JavaFX applications
