JavaFX 1.0 scripting language released

Sun Microsystems has released version 1.0 of the JavaFX scripting language, which provides video playback capability through native Java codecs for the first time; thus providing Sun with a serious entry to the Rich Internet Application (RIA) space.

Although third-to-market after Microsoft's Silverlight 2.0 and Adobe Flex; and supported so far only on Windows and MacOS, (Linux and Solaris support will be available in the first half of this year); it should be able to take advantage of the large base of Java developers out there who have not yet explored the other platforms; and has some cool features, such as being able to move content between browser-based and desktop apps.

Support for JavaFX mobile applications will be launched at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February.
