Sun Microsystems today previewed JavaFX Script, a new scripting language for creating rich content and applications for Java-powered devices such as mobile phones.
Revamping its Java software in an effort to compete more effectively in the fast-growing market for Internet-connected mobile phones, Sun Microsystems was an early leader in developing Internet-oriented software, but faces increasing competition from Symbian, Microsoft, Palm, Research in Motion and a variety of smaller Linux-oriented efforts.JavaFX Script takes advantage of the Java Runtime Environment's (JRE) ubiquity across devices and allows professionals to begin building applications based on their current knowledge base. It also uses Java technology's "write once, run anywhere" capability to let consumers access content whenever and wherever on any Java-powered device. JavaFX applications will run on JavaFX Mobile, Sun's software system for mobile devices also previewed at JavaOne, as well as desktop browsers. JavaFX Script is unique in providing close integration with Java components that run on the server or the client, resulting in a richer end-to-end experience. JavaFX Script brings together a simple and intuitive language design, requiring less coding and providing fast development cycles with a ubiquitous runtime platform and an open source program for innovation by developers worldwide. Over time, Sun will enhance the JavaFX family with content tools, widgets and other offerings that will further aid developers in creating rich media and content. Sun plans to make JavaFX Script available under an open source license and today is releasing the early alpha version of JavaFX Script at openjfx.org on Java.net.
