Sun Microsystems Releases JavaFX Preview
Provides Runtime, Tools and Technologies to Create Dynamic, Visually
Compelling JavaFX Applications
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 31, 2008 --
Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) today announced the availability of
the JavaFX(TM) Preview release at: http://www.javafx.com.
The JavaFX Preview release provides web scripters, designers and Java
developers with a preview of the runtime and tools needed to create
amazing Rich Internet Applications (RIA) on the Java(TM) platform.
Developers can download the JavaFX Preview release, explore the code
samples and tutorials, start writing JavaFX applications and provide
their feedback to Sun.
JavaFX is the rich client platform for building RIA and content across
all the screens of your life (PC, mobile, TV and other consumer
devices). JavaFX can allow developers to quickly and easily build
high-impact, immersive RIAs that combine 2D and 3D graphics, high
fidelity audio and video, and animation, all while leveraging the power
and functionality of the existing Java platform.
“With this announcement, Sun is delivering on
the commitment it made in May at JavaOne (SM) to deliver a preview of
JavaFX to the RIA community,” said Ken
Wallich, VP of JavaFX at Sun. “Only the Java
platform is pervasive enough to allow developers to build and deploy
RIAs across desktops and browsers on more than 800 million PCs, as well
as billions of mobile phones and devices. JavaFX builds upon this
foundation to deliver immersive and rich presentation capabilities to
the existing Java platform.”
The JavaFX Preview release is designed to help early adopters become
familiar with JavaFX and is not yet being offered for commercial
applications. The JavaFX Preview release consists of the following
components:
-
JavaFX Preview SDK: Provides the JavaFX compiler and runtime
tools, 2D graphics and media libraries to create highly interactive
applications for desktop and browser, as well as tutorials, API
documentation and sample code.
-
NetBeans(TM) 6.1 IDE with integrated JavaFX plug-in: Provides a
sophisticated development environment to build, preview, and debug
JavaFX applications.
-
Project Nile: An easy to use tool that exports creative assets
from Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to JavaFX applications.
-
Java(TM) Runtime Environment 6 Update 10 Beta: Delivers a high
performance runtime with a new browser plug-in that provides the
ability to drag a live running applet out of a web browser and
dynamically transform it into an application running on the desktop.
