Abstract:
Java originally started as a platform for embedded and mobile development, but became very popular for server-side (and later cloud-native) development.
However, Java is still very popular on the (desktop/mobile/embedded) client as well. The client-side part of Java, including the UI API's, is developed as part of JavaFX.
The JavaFX framework is being developed in the OpenJFX repository, which is a subproject of OpenJDK. A number of companies contribute to JavaFX, and the project is lead by Oracle and Gluon.
In this session, we will give a short overview of the current state of JavaFX, and we will talk about future development areas.
This includes plans for API development, graphical support, and integration with the new GraalVM product, allowing for almost instant startup on desktop, mobile and embedded.
