JAVAONE, SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. 21, 2010
News Facts
At JavaOne 2010, Oracle outlined plans to deliver advanced graphics, high-fidelity media, and the ability to render HTML content within Java applications through a programming model that combines the power of Java with the ease of JavaFX.
Oracle is working to tightly integrate JavaFX with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to enable better performance and improved usability.
As part of the next release of JavaFX in calendar Q3 of 2011, Oracle will introduce a new set of Java APIs that will open JavaFX capabilities to all Java developers, without the need for them to learn a new scripting language.
The new Java APIs will:
Allow the use of powerful Java features such as generics, annotations and multi-threading.
Make it easier for Web developers to use JavaFX within other popular dynamic languages such as JRuby, Groovy and JavaScript.
Oracle is also planning to deliver a hardware-accelerated graphics engine that will enable JavaFX applications to render stunning interactive 2D and 3D experiences in real-time.
Oracle is showcasing JavaFX at JavaOne 2010 at more than 30 conference sessions and BOFs, as well as in the JavaOne Exhibition Hall.
