JavaFX Script

May 8th, 2007 by Hen

Apparently the big announcement for this keynote is the GPL’d JavaFX Script, and the associated pay-for OEM targetted JavaFX Mobile.

It targets more than just the current Java developer community, has tools, works on desktop or mobile device etc. Sounds much like the JSF promises, though in reality looks more like what Rebol have been pushing for years (according to infoq it’s something they bought from SavaJe).

    JavaFX Mobile came largely from SavaJe. The scripting language, JavaFX Script, was developed by Chris Oliver under the code name F3. See http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=306 for more info.
