Sun JavaFX Script coming up

Sun Microsystems is all set to make available JavaFX Script technology.

This new technology is basically a scripting variant of Java designed to provide solutions to code rich Internet applications.

The company said that they would release a preview version in May. A final version would be released later on.

Sun would be displaying this new technology at the upcoming JavaOne conference in San Francisco. They had revealed this new technology at the JavaOne in May 2007.

Brian Goetz, compiler technology lead for JavaFX Script at Sun: “Applets didn’t get the support from the browser that they needed in order for them to work. The pain of developing applications in Swing is more than most developers are willing to endure and so the approach has not caught on and that’s largely because Java has been so successful on the server side and we’ve paid more attention to that.”
