I haven't looked into it enough to have an opinion about this release, but I'll be sure to post more as I dig into it.

Hmm, I don't know if I've got the right JRE version to see the demo page correctly (if not, I would expect some info about this) but it looks really crap in FF, IE, Opera and Safari on Windows XP. Not a really good start ...

The reason is Sun and Microsoft attract the wrong crowds. That means they attract only hard core developers, one because their language is to technical and because they don't have any design applications worth anything or non at all.

Great interactive developers have a design/artsy side of the brain. Which is Sun and Microsofts entire problem....they think in features/functions rather than experience, which is what Flash/Flex developers understand due to the artsy side. Until Microsoft and Sun can attract those guys they lose. Sure developers will use those products, but the experience will not be great and that will translate over to software company profits.

Is it just me or is the interaction extremely stiff feeling....like watching President Bush dance.

"It's here. The JavaFX Rich Client platform. A platform and tools suite that offers distinct advantages to Web developers, Web designers, and Java developers that are building rich, connected experiences.

Get started today. The JavaFX SDK has the essential set of technology, tools and resources required for developers and designers to create and deploy JavaFX applications."

If that's all after shifting release dates for months ... yawn ...

Sun actually had a bunch of artsy-developer superstars (e.g. Chet Haase, Romain Guy). They left/got hunted away to Adobe (Flex) and Google (Android). Given their current situation, I don't think they'll ever see people like that for a long time unless their fortunes turn.

The scripting languages we find in RIA solutions are not robust enough for business software. They are great for a new rendition of space invader or breakout but what for an insurance software or meta-data sensitive GUI?
