Matthias, you don't know how much I agree with your statement. And I know some major speakers around - also friend of mine - who think the same. This annoys me so much that sometimes I wonder whether I'd better change job. The problem is: the industry is literally intoxicated by this attitude, and I don't see we can do much to fight it. It is like that for a number of converging reasons, including the fact that, from a business point of view, it's like the classic "dig holes and then fill them", or "break windows and then fix them". Personally I've abandoned Swing time ago, but I find JavaFX pretty good. Now, unfortunately, I'm seeing even the latest "Asterix villages" that kept on developing rich client applications falling down and being pressured to move development of UIs to HTML5. In this perspective, I must say that Oracle's announce to drop JavaFX from the runtime and give it to the community, while it theoretically could be not a major problem for the survival of the technology, it's probably going to effectively kill it, because project managers will interpret the thing like an imminent death - JavaFX finding itself without a corporate sponsor. On my perspective, I can work as technology advocate, architect and supporting consultant for developers, but I'm not the typical professional figure that can influence project managers (who reason with different references than me) to the point of making their minds - and I believe many of us, unfortunately, are in the same bandwagon. So, I don't see a critical mass to change things. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect @ Tidalwave s.a.s. "We make Java work.

Re: Could Oracle donate the beansbinding library too?

See eg: https://web.archive.org/web/20070618134019/https://beansbinding.dev.java.net/ When it was dismissed, I forked it and worked on it, but only for a short time - because JavaFX2 came with its own binding stuff and then I moved to it. In any case, just for the record, you can find it here: https://bitbucket.org/tidalwave/betterbeansbinding-src/ Googling for "BetterBeansBinding" you'll find some forks here and there by people that maintained it (I don't know whether they are doing it still now, or gave up at some time). Of course, the problem with the licensing still holds, because I couldn't do but keeping the original LGPL. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect @ Tidalwave s.a.s. "We make Java work.
