Open Java FX Script

The OpenJFX project is available on java.net, and open to contribution. Get involved, get educated, and get the latest downloads at https://openjfx.dev.java.net/.

As you may have noticed from my recent blog entries, I think Java FX is pretty cool. JavaFX Script is a scripting language that enables you to create rich media and content for deployment on Java environments. It's a declarative, statically typed programming language, and with it you can make direct calls to Java APIs. More imporantly, it makes Java-based GUI development much simpler than with Swing or AWT, and it works well via the Web.

Sun also announced Java FX Mobile, which is a complete mobile operating and application environment built around Java, Java FX Script, and Linux.

With Sun planning to open source all of Java FX Script, and maybe even Java FX Mobile, this is your chance to make sure it becomes what you need it to be. Check out https://openjfx.dev.java.net/ for all of the information on getting involved, downloading the source and latest builds, and the sample applications.
