"JavaFX is a powerful client technology for creating rich Internet applications with immersive media and content across the multiple screens of an individual's life," said Sun Microsystems Executive Vice President Rich Green. "Java technology is now ready for the new creative audiences that have emerged in response to consumer demand for rich content."
Introducing JavaScript
In particular, Sun's new suite introduces a new high-performance declarative scripting language known as JavaFX Script. Like the rest of the Java platform, the product will be made available under the standard GPL license.
Among other things, JavaFX Script will enable the binding of applications to various data sources, Sun said, enabling developers to create compelling mashup offerings. Moreover, JavaFX Script is designed to deliver a rich end-to-end experience for developers and users alike through its close integration with other standard Java application and infrastructure components.
The scripters, social-application creators, designers, content authors and consumers who elect to join the Java ecosystem of more than six million developers will "take Java technology in exciting new directions," Green said.
On All Screens
Green said Sun's Java runtime technology already has evolved to become the most powerful, scalable and secure development platform for a broad range of enterprise and mobile applications. "Consumer demand is where the action is, and with 2.2 billion mobile devices and 91 percent of all desktops, Java technology has become a constant digital companion, playing an essential role in everyday life," Green added.
The first version of JavaFX Desktop for the browser and desktop is slated for launch this fall, Green told JavaOne attendees. Additionally, Sun is working with the majority of global handset manufacturers and carriers to deliver the first versions of JavaFX Mobile and JavaFX TV by spring 2009, Green added.
