In looking back at my JavaFX… does it have a future? posting, my views have been changed by some of the comments made, in particular about JavaFX vs. Flash/Flex and Java Web Start.

One of the most popular polls we’ve had on JavaLobby recently was based around the future of JavaFX. The poll started a healthy discussion covering different perspectives on that state of JavaFX. From the poll choices, most people went along with the idea that Oracle should give up on JavaFX. The success of HTML5 makes many question whether there is a need for RIA technologies such as JavaFX, Flash and Silverlight anymore. The next most popular choice was for Oracle to open source JavaFX.

Now that HTML5 is coming of age, I've been exploring synergies between JavaFX and HTML5 in order to leverage the strengths of both.  Are there areas of HTML5, like WebSockets for example, that you'd like to see posted on this blog?

To the Leaders, Management, and Board of Directors at Oracle Corporation,

We the undersigned formally request that Oracle Corporation release the entire JavaFX Platform as open source software available for modification and reuse by individuals, educators, and corporations.

Open source software has transformed the way that we build and use software. It has increased the educational reach of technology, allowed new and innovative applications to emerge, and spawned the growth of communities dedicated to software philanthropy. Java has been at the forefront of this revolution, providing a platform for open source development, and becoming an open source effort in itself.

I don’t know any other technology that has ever gotten as much of a beating as JavaFX did last week (here, here, and here). JavaFX has become a technology that developers love to hate. It’s like a pinata for developers.
JavaFX was first announced at JavaOne 2007 (that’s 3 years ago). Many predicted its death even before version 1.0 was released in December 2008, and many continue to call for its demise.
Last week also turned out to be the week where I presented Enterprise JavaFX at the Silicon Valley JavaFX JUG, and also the week that Steven Chin created a petition to open source JavaFX.
Don’t get me wrong, JavaFX is very far from perfect. It has it’s problems and challenges (listed below) and its future is hanging on life support right now, but let’s start with the good.

Programming asynchronous calls (in JavaFX or any other language) is one thing. Testing them is totally different. This installment of Effective JavaFX Architecture shows how to code and easily test async calls and Http/REST calls using tried and tested patterns.
