Let’s get started with JavaFX, the java based answer from SUN to Microsoft (Silverlight) and Adobe (Flex). With JavaFX you can develop rich internet applications (RIA).

This is what you need to start coding with JavaFX Script (It’s quiet easy, I use to say; JavaFX Script looks like Javascript and CSS coding with a Java touch.)
- JavaFX 1.0 SDK

You can download it from the SUN JavaFX website: JavaFX.
From this website you can also download the NetBeans IDE 6.5, fine by me but since I’m a Eclipse / RAD user I would love to develop JavaFX from my favorite dev tool; Eclipse 3.2.

Now open your Eclipse IDE and choose:
Help > Software updates > Find and Install > Search for new features to install.
Press:New Remote Site

Name: JavaFX
URL: http://download.java.net/general/openjfx/plugins/eclipse/site.xml

Press Finish and let Eclipse search and install the plugin.
Then restart your IDE; and there you go!
