JavaFX will start with a version for personal computers that allows the use of rich Internet applications (RIAs) within a browser or directly on the desktop. Versions running on mobile phones - including Google's Android - and TVs are expected in northern Spring 2009. Rich Green, Sun's executive vice president of software, showed JavaOne attendees a JavaFX application running on a PC and a mobile phone. "Java technology has evolved to be the most powerful, scalable and secure development platform for a broad range of enterprise and mobile applications," said Green. "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. Java technology is now ready for the new creative audiences that have emerged in response to consumer demand for rich content - scripters, social application creators, designers, content authors and consumers who will join the Java ecosystem of more than six million developers to take Java technology in exciting new directions." Information about JavaFX is available at www.javafx.com. |
