Jonathan,

For me and for countless others getting JavaFX support for mobiles and tablets is way ahead of any other issue facing this technology. What's the point of investing all this time and effort into something that only runs on a platform which is in steep decline (i.e. the desktop)? I know I am stating the obvious but JavaFX will fizzle out into a niche product if it doesn't support these modern platforms (and soon). OK, so it seems you already get this but yes, I do wonder why we need to "tell you" again in this form :-) Whatever the reason, could you or someone else from Oracle please clearly outline exactly what it is going to take to get JavaFX onto these mobile and tablets: 1. How much will Oracle do? 2. How much is dependent on the community? 3. Who is going to coordinate the whole process? 4. When will it commence? 5. When will we be able to sell our iOS apps written in JavaFX? 6. Are there any issues (technical, political etc.) that are currently insurmountable? 7. Will iOS/Android/WP8 apps be indistinguishable from native apps (i.e. look and feel, performance)? 8. Has Oracle management committed to providing the funds to see this project through to the end? I am sure I am not the only one who would love to see definitive answers to these questions! -jct -----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev-bounces at openjdk.java.net [mailto:openjfx-dev-bounces at openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of Jonathan Giles Sent: Friday, 7 December 2012 18:13 To: openjfx-dev at openjdk.java.net Subject: Survey: JavaFX on tablets and mobile devices Hi all, If you're the least bit interested in JavaFX on mobile devices (and it seems a few of you are), I'd really appreciate you making your voice heard over at FX Experience: http://fxexperience.com/2012/12/javafx-for-tablets-mobile/ I know that the cynical among you will question why this is necessary, that your voices should have already been heard, and that it is 'too little, too late'. Please indulge me this one last time - I'd really appreciate it - and I promise that your feedback will be heard by all the right people. Thanks, -- Jonathan
