JavaFX can not only take advantage of GPUs, which now seem to be omnipresent, but also the general characteristics of Java like security, maturity, performance, and a large ecosystem. It was interesting to learn that JavaFX combines hardware acceleration, which wasn’t widely available in the initial days of Java when the AWT and Swing UI toolkits were created. JavaFX uses the javafx namespace and can be considered a successor to Java AWT or Swing, the first UI toolkits in Java (which are still in use). To eliminate confusion, Johan explains that JavaFX code is not integrated in the OpenJDK code base. JavaFX is developed under the OpenJDK umbrella as part of the OpenJFX project. Johan defines JavaFX as a Java API for general client development that is especially suited for UI development. In this live stream, Johan covered what JavaFX is, how to use it in IntelliJ IDEA, its ecosystem, specification, and architecture, how it is being developed, and the JavaFX roadmap. You can find the slides from this presentation here. On January 20, 2021, we hosted the live stream ‘JavaFX: Cross-platform UI Development in Java’ by Johan Vos, Java Champion, co-lead for OpenJFX, lead of OpenJDK Mobile, published author, and co-founder of Gluon.
