In my last attempt to stress the JavaFX platform, I ported the Strange Attractor demo/benchmark. Different from JavaFX Balls, this is not scenegraph-driven animation, but old-school "pixel by pixel" drawing… still, makes for another batch of interesting findings, including a few issues in the JavaFX Script language and its compiler, and other topics like fractal maths, BigDecimal, and...
Sun just released the first maintenance update for JavaFX 1.2. This release brings mostly a batch of important javafxc fixes, that I dissect in this blog...
Java programmers are used to the fact that compilation of Java source code is a relatively straightforward process, because the Java language has a simple mapping to the Java bytecode. So javac is a trivial compiler, at least in the code...

Another update of JavaFX Balls, the JavaFX version of Bubblemark. I added benchmarking for the Effects framework, along with another batch of minor improvements. More interesting findings about JavaFX's behavior and performance. I tested JavaFX Balls again with the new JavaFX 1.2 runtime, now with with HotSpot Server, more interesting findings. I just grabbed the distribution of JavaFX 1.2. Lots of new stuff to cover, but I will start by updating the JavaFX Balls benchmark (my version of Bubblemark). Very good results... It seems these two ports are confirmed for Marina (JavaFX 1.5), like expected. Some comments on open sourcing too. A new build (possibly RC? FCS is scheduled for May) of the next JDK is available. A relatively small number of fixes this time, nothing major. But I reviewed the last builds and tested the improvements for loading time. As a bonus, some musings about Java's loading time and resource usage... Oracle bought Sun, and most of Sun's portfolio is probably safe. But not everything. In this blog I worry about the future of JavaFX and ask for some clear direction.
Sun released the second beta build of next JDK, and since I'm tracking it, here are my impressions of this build - focus on startup time fixes in both the JRE and JavaFX.
Whether you are a Swing diehard or a JavaFX enthusiast, Sun's latest JRE is yet another important improvement for client-side Java.
I've been busy over the last weeks, evaluating and learning the Java FX
platform. I'm between optimistic and
enthusiastic about JFX, but wandering forums and blogs over the net,
this doesn't seem to be the general impression - to date, most
community feedback (ignoring official advocates like Sun engineers) seems to be negative.
Build
40 of Mustang was the first drop with the first significant
new API additions. And the inevitable happened
as some people started to complain about the addition of "useless"
features:
who needs Web Services, Javascript or an HTTP server? Why Javascript
instead of [put favorite language here]?
Some of these
features are indeed hard to justify in J2SE, if we miss the big picture.
