Announcement for the (future) JavaFX 2.0

2010-09-21 Thread Sandro Martini
Hi to all, someone has already seen this: http://java.dzone.com/articles/oracle-discontinue-javafx on the future JavaFX 2.0 ? More in detail, this: This will also make JavaFX resemble Apache Pivot in a few more ways. Reading this type of things I've the confirm that we were/are on the right

So yes, it seems like we have been on the right track. But we already knew that. :-) I didn't see anything in that article to imply that Prism wouldn't be made available to Java SE. Did I miss something? But here is my concern: Pivot's biggest advantages over JavaFX to date have been: a)

Actually, if you read the entire JavaFX roadmap, it seems like HTML 5 support may be less necessary when JavaFX 2 is released. Apparently one of the items on the roadmap is to deliver an AWT-less plugin that will improve both plugin speed and stability. Assuming that Prism is available to

I have already added support for option 1 so it is possible for users to disable volatile images. However, I think it is preferable to leave them enabled by default since this problem does not appear to affect most users, and it does improve performance. On Sep 21, 2010, at 5:06 PM, Sandro
