I dont get it. I can't find anything official that states that JavaFX

about the introduction of the Java based APIs, but not in lieu of

What's really disappointing is that there are not precise milestones.
"2010-2011 roadmap" is too generic, and this really sounds - as Reinier
said - as the further "announcement" of JavaFX. While the decoupling
from the language is good, there are implications with a number of
further projects: for instance BeansBinding. Looking (quickly) at
Stephen Chin's + Jonathan Giles' slides I see an example of a completely
new listener e.g. for Rectangle (addChangedListener() with a
BooleanListener) in a place that could probably work with the existing
PropertyChangeListener. I suppose there's a reason for this, but this
means a departure from the bound property specs from JavaBeans. How the
thing will be integrated with existing Swing components? Furthermore, I
see an extreme fuzziness in all the announcements, as there is really
nothing concrete now, even the APIs. This is for sure extremely
DISAPPOINTING. The ridiculous has reached higher peaks for what concerns
the JWebPane component in particular. I hope that other presentations
will give some real deadline.
Now, looking at the list of postponed features for Java 7 (unfortunately
everything mixes, to increase the chaos) I see that JXDatePicker has
been postponed. I'm not against the fact that it has been postponed, I
think that there's no mean in th point. I mean: serious industrial
adopters of Swing are using SwingX in full (or at least for a
conspicuous number of widgets), since Swing by itself is not enough.
Only the fact that somebody is *discussing* whether to integrate
JXDatePicker in 2012 is absurd. Either you discuss about integrating a
larger number of widgets of SwingX, or you decide that SwingX will live
as an external library. Integrating a single component won't change the
life of nobody.
