Will JavaFX Script end AJAX? Or another option?

At the JavaOne conference, green, executive vice president of Sun's software business, announced JavaFX Script: A simpler scripting language for compiling application software that can run on PCs and mobile phones that support Java.

To solve the compatibility problem of Mobile phones, green elaborated in detail JavaFX Mobile: a software package for Mobile phone manufacturers to improve the compatibility of Java application software between different Mobile phones.

Sun officials also plan to release the last part of open-source Java and elaborate on the management rules for Java-related open-source projects.

Sun plans to use Java on small devices and browsers through JavaFX Script. Green said that Java is not only for enterprises, but also for consumers. The script language we will release will greatly increase the number of people who can develop content for this platform.

JavaFX Script is a scripting language that is better than Java in terms of production efficiency and ease of use, and can be closely integrated with Java. Developers can use JavaFX Script to write applications that can run on PCs and mobile phones that support Java.

Sun wants to expand the number of developers who write Java-compatible applications and make money by making money with the increasing interest in so-called rich Internet applications.

Sun is still opposed to the idea that Sun is lagging behind in the rich Internet application software field, Green said. RedMonk analyst Stephen said that Microsoft, Adobe, and many small companies are moving into this field.

Sun plans to release the source code of JavaFX Script so that other companies can use it to develop Web creation tools. Sun also plans to develop script tools for content creation.

As Web developers develop more complex network applications, from media publishing sites to desktop-style applications, rich Internet applications have become one of the hottest areas in software development.

Burton Group analyst Richard said that Java has a huge product and vendor industry chain, but its applications in front-end design are affected by compatibility and performance issues. JavaFX Script may solve this problem.

According to Sun, the number of programmers who use the Java platform to develop software on the desktop system has reached 5 million. Green said that there are already 2 billion mobile phones in the world pre-installed Java software named Java ME.

Richard said that with JavaFX Script and JavaFX Mobile, Sun and other Java licensed customers will have more attractive Internet-rich application software development tools.

Over the past two years, scripting has become increasingly popular in mainstream application development. Many Web site developers and enterprise developers have chosen the scripting language as a lightweight replacement for Java or. Net.

Compared with Ruby, PHP, and Python, Java-related scripting languages have the advantage that Java programmers can easily use their existing programming skills.

Applications written using JavaFX Script can run on Java Runtime Environment. Like Adobe's Apollo, Green says, developers can use the same tools to write Web browser-based applications or cross-platform desktop software.

Despite the large installation volume, the differences between different Java ME implementations cause compatibility issues. JavaFX Mobile is designed for Mobile phone operators and vendors to reduce these differences and provide a series of Mobile Phone applications for common tasks.

Stephen said that the launch of Java-related scripting languages may not necessarily make people abandon Ruby, Python, and PHP. JavaFX Script is mainly attractive to developers who are already using Java.
