No JavaFX for iOS, Android or WP (original) (raw)

Hi,

Having now read through the complete thread I think there are 2 things to take a way for me/us:

I think I don't have to state how strange it is that some people at Oracle (I'm not talking about Richard and his team) don't really get that if JavaFX doesn't work on all platforms (including iOS/Anroid) they won't ever get enough momentum to really take off.

I fully understand that Oracle can't fix all and everything for us.

Richard has stated that porting JavaFX to iOS or Android is not currently on the roadmap. So think what that means. The current roadmap extends out to 2015/16 or so with the release of JavaFX 8 & 9 so we are talking about some time after that. Realistically, if JavaFX ever actually does run on iOS or Android then it's going to be 2016/7 at the earliest. That's another 4 or 5 years from now and surely by then JavaFX will be so far behind other mobile platforms that it really will have missed the boat. That's not at all how it works. If it were put on the roadmap, it could be shipped in 6 months. Its not like you can't add features to a roadmap. Richard
