JavaFX released. Finally.

JavaFX 1.0 made its debut a few days back amid high hopes and a sea of doubt — some in the Java community believe JavaFX could become “the application environment for the Java platform,” while others say Sun has made nothing but mistakes on the client side, and JavaFX is too little, too late.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Param Singh and John Burkey, both of Sun — in our conversation, we chat about both the concerns associated with JavaFX 1.0 and its future potential on the desktop, web, and even mobile. What’s more, we also chatted about what does JavaFX 1.0 mean for Swing and can JavaFX compete with Flex or Silverlight? Have a listen and find out, man!
