Finally, a ship date is set for JavaFX: the new UI toolkit from Sun, designed to go head to head with Flash and Silverlight. December 2nd (2008) is the date that JavaFX 1.0 final will be shipped. Sun will also announce some other news regarding the future of Swing and JavaFX at the Devoxx conference. It's great news that at least this year, Sun can still make the release and a clear vision on how this stuff will evolve in 2009. Just a few more weeks of patience...
