A New World of Web with JavaFX

Through Rich Internet Application (RIA), an internet application run just like an desktop application. Microsoft do this with Silverlight, Adobe works on Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). Right now Sun comes with JavaFX.

Software developer have work hard to prepare a new inovation in a website. User can do more atractive. Data from internet and data from user's hard disk won't be separated. Browser have no 'very important' function again, because the software can comunicate to website directly. This is we called Rich Internet Application (RIA).

RIA supported by a platform, like a AIR from Adobe and Silverlight from Microsoft. Now Sun following with JavaFX, provide tools and support for RIA.


Runtime for JavaFX
JavaFX build with a diferent programming language. To run a web application based JavaFX, user needs a library called runtime. This runtime has been included in Java runtime engine 6 update 10. This condition is a big benefit for Sun to increase market for JavaFX. Also, java platform has been available for mobile equipment. Meanwhile, user must downloads a different runtime from Microsoft for Silverlight, or from Adobe for AIR.


Sun provide free developer tools for JavaFX, like a NetBeans for development environment and Project Nile to convert Photoshop and Illustrator file. In 2009, Sun will launch a special designer tools. It seems Sun have a big plan for this project.
