JavaFX

The highly anticipated JavaFX™ technology and platform is essentially Sun’s approach to Adobe Flash and Microsoft’s emerging Silverlight. JavaFX lets developers play with the open source scripting, desktop, and mobile APIs offered to create dynamic, seamless visual user interfaces (UIs) that are “Flash–like” and beyond… The JavaFX technology and platform enables developers and designers to create RIAs that can run across diverse devices. The JavaFX Script programming language lets you create modern looking applications with sophisticated graphical user interfaces. It was designed from the ground up to make GUI programming easy; its declarative syntax, data binding model, animation support, and built-in visual effects let you accomplish more work with less code, resulting in shorter development cycles and increased productivity.
