Developers will be able to get their hands on a preview SDK (software development kit) for JavaFX as of Thursday, marking Sun's entry into the RIA (rich Internet application) framework wars.
"Our strategy with JavaFX is that we're providing the presentation layer for Java," said Param Singh, senior director of Java marketing. Over time, JavaFX will enable programmers to develop applications that can be deployed across "multiple screens" -- i.e. mobile devices, browsers, desktops and TVs -- as well as reinvigorate existing Java programs with fresh front ends, according to Singh.
"In the enterprise, you will start getting the ability to take existing applications, add a rich client interface and then have the ability to deploy it on the Web or the desktop," Singh said.
