JavaFX (RIA)

Sun announced what they're posing as a Flash-killer: JavaFX, a runtime library and scripting language for rich clients.
Many vocal developers say not.
But Sun seems to be very excited about JavaFX; perhaps they're focusing more on the mobile market than the desktop market, with the desktop being more of a convenient afterthought.

demo:(cool! recommended)

IMO: (Tring some demo/examples) It really opened my eyes(again), the speed is fair, code style is elegant and clean, since it leverages the Java2D and Swing API's and features a declarative programming model, its functionality should be powerful enough.

Not like flex/openlaszlo, which based on xml, it's somewhat like "declaring script", although xml is popular, but json something like is also elegant and powerful, and more easier.

Since flex/openlaszlo are based on the script(ECMAScript,ActionScript), there are many issues or problems hard to resolve(esp on the server side), e.g. for openlaszlo: It need a delegator to support rpc, multi-request-parameters not supported, cookie not supported directly, parameter bug while invoke the WS. And also with the some tricky techs and lack of sophisticated libaries.

Applets and WebStart are never good enough, what about FX?

What's about your opinions?

我估计JavaFX (RIA)的远景:又是sun公司一个不成气候的东西.
当然你也可以这样说:"JavaFX被认为可以与Adobe Flex、MS Silverlight完美竞争地三大RIA之一"

2楼的，叫你呢！

ps:这种称乎俺可承受不起．．．

不解为何评了这么多 新手帖
难道TSS，InfoQ,还有James, Green等都推崇的也是。。。

不错，看了看例子和语言规范，像下面这样的界面代码：
import javafx.ui.*;

Frame {
title: "Hello World JavaFX"
width: 200
height: 50
content: Label {
text: "Hello World"
}
visible: true
}

这样的语法应该非常方便开发工具给他提供visual edit功能，相信很快netbeans就会支持visual edit 生成javaFX代码。
我觉得做桌面应用和mobile应用应当有前途，至于RIA,偶还没看出来。。。。更方便开发applet? 待我再研究研究

顺便给楼主评个良好贴，do people want thick road

do people want thick road ...
another saying is that:
make person demand thick path

thick road ?
作何翻译？
