Kirill Grouchnikov: JavaFX is a train wreck
Kirill Grouchnikov has decided that JavaFX is a train wreck:
It’s been three years since JavaFX was announced to the world, and it’s time to see how far has it gone with capturing the minds of the target audience.

Swing, Swingx, JOGL abandoned for just Javafx.

I'm an advent swing user, I was really excited on Javafx launch with its promises. Since Im researching on global illumination algorithms and written some path tracers which rely on BufferedImage, I still consider swing to be a viable option. How can I use javafx with the BufferedImage and redistribute my application without considering javafx licenses. I'm not using applets, just a command launch application. Also lack of support of JOGL, it started to pick up with even NVIDIA using it in some applications. The best thing about jogl was its use with java2d. SwingX also not being funded. All these in favour of Javafx. I think the only way to recapture javafx is to make it accessible in swing, and also re-evaluate its marketing strategy.
