Sun Releases JavaFX

Posted by timothy on from the does-it-roll-off-the-tongue-or-not dept.

ink writes "Sun released JavaFX 1.0 today, in a bid to take on Adobe's Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight technologies. It is Sun's first Java release to include standardized, cross-platform audio and video playback code (in the form of On2 licensed codecs). The lack of a Linux or Solaris release is a notable absence. The development kit currently consists of the base run-time, a NetBeans/Eclipse plug-in and a set of artifact exporters for Adobe CS 3&4." An anonymous reader adds a link to several tutorials accompanying the new release.

    I don't really understand why Sun bothers. They had there chance with Java and blow it. .NET will be the platform that you can write once and run anywhere. JavaFX is just said compared to Flash and Silverlight.

    Sun: Our OS is so insignificant even we won't develop for it.
