JavaFX viability was->Re: Pete's web5250

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I just got done with my morning break on the throne and found a good
   update article in SDTimes:

   http://sdtimes.com/SUN_RELEASES_JAVAFX_1_0_FOR_WEB_DEVELOPMENT/About_JAVA_and_MACOS_and_NETBEANS_and_RIAS_and_WINDOWS_and_APPLE_and_MICROSOFT_and_SUN/33093

   I tried to load some JavaFX apps onto my machine (per John) only to find
   out that the Linux desktop isn't yet supported - bummer.

   If JavaFX is easier to code (i.e. simpler syntax) it makes me wonder if it
   will also be used on the server side to replace Java business logic and
   the like?  Competitor of EGL maybe?

   Niels, if you research it more please do respond back and let us know what
   you find.

 Hi John.

 I had never heard about JavaFX - but after browsing around, download it to
 my NetBeans .. must say .. I'm in love :)

 The language is a crossover between java and javascript. Fx is a dynamic
 language where you access java classes and define object just like in
 javascript. Very slick way of inherence and the way to expose methods as
 properties with a simple "bind" keyword - is just brilliant.

 JavaFX is actually another good argument for making the 5250 javascript
 proxy - JavaFX will just swallow the JSON stream I am talking about....
