Javafx 2.0 Dr 1 <Insert Picture Here> JavaFX 2.0 Dr. Stefan Schneider Chief Technologist ISV Engineering The following is intended to outline our general product direction. It is intended for information purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality, and should not be relied upon in making purchasing decisions. The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality described for Oracle’s products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle. 3 JavaFX 2.0 Agenda • Overview <Insert Picture Here> • Details • Architecture • Roadmap 4 What is JavaFX? 5 JavaFX is the evolution of the Java rich client platform, designed to address the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s customers. 6 Who is JavaFX for? 7 Target Developers • Current Java Developers • Former Java Developers • Web Developers • New Developers 8 What makes JavaFX special? 9 JavaFX defines itself as being a well designed, cross platform application development platform. It is fast. It is flexible. It delivers exceptional value to developers and end users. It is competitive. Most importantly, it leverages the massive existing Java eco system. Nobody else offers the complete package – exceptional developer experience, user experience, cross platform development and massive ecosystem. 10 TIOBE Index Popularity of a Language 11 The Java Eco System • Over 9 million Java developers • Java is taught in universities around the globe • Every major company uses Java 12 Value Proposition for Client Java • Leverage existing Java investment • Easier to find and train developers • Reduce risk by reducing complexity 13 Why is JavaFX important? 14 JavaFX encourages companies to use Java on the client and the server. A strong and vibrant client platform retards the growth of competing technologies in enterprise server rooms. JavaFX provides a compelling end-to-end Java solution for enterprises and competes well with other technologies. 15 How about some examples? 16 Demo: Graphics 17 18 19 Details 20 Programming Languages • Java is our primary programming language – Release Java APIs for all of JavaFX – Expose JavaFX Binding, Sequences as Java APIs • Embrace all JVM languages – JRuby, Jython, Scala, Groovy, … – JavaScript • JavaFX Script compiler will not be updated to work with JavaFX 2.0 APIs – Existing JavaFX Script based applications will continue to run 21 APIs and Programming Model • Continuation from JavaFX 1.X product line – We are quite pleased with the scene graph and event model – Most APIs will simply be ported directly to Java – Some APIs will be revisited (e.g. layout) – Existing Controls will all be ported • Embrace more web technology – Update JavaFX CSS to include more from CSS 3 (eventually to be fully spec compliant) – * Use WAI-ARIA for accessibility API – * Make HTML available for rich text in all Text nodes 22 API Design • Hire the best – We’re actively hiring, visit the booth, see me for more info – We have a very good team, good environment, good development methodology, building a great platform! • API Usability Studies – Inflict our APIs on unsuspecting volunteers – Observe their reactions • Release Early Access, Beta builds to partners – Join the JavaFX Partner Program for access to builds • Build blueprints, samples, demos in parallel – Nothing vets an API like building applications 23 Workflows • Developer oriented workflow – Developers write application, produce UI – Use a RAD tool to produce forms apps quickly – Import graphics from Illustrator & Photoshop – Designers style UI using CSS • Designer oriented workflow – Designer produces graphics using professional tools – Developers produce modules (e.g. access web services) – Designer aggregates graphics & code modules & scripts it together using JavaScript or another dynamic language 24 Web Integration • Embed HTML in JavaFX – WebView node in the scene graph is embedded browser – Allow all Text nodes to have HTML content – Seamless DOM integration • Embed JavaFX in HTML – Using traditional plugin technology – Seamless DOM integration – Adapt to use HTML 5 local storage, browser history, etc • Adopt more web standard – CSS, Accessibility, HTML for rich text, … 25 Graphics • 2D and 3D scene graph • Hardware accelerated pipeline – DirectX 9 on Windows XP, Windows Vista – DirectX 11 on Windows 7 – OpenGL on Mac, Linux, Embedded – Software (Java2D) when necessary • Embed in Swing – c.f. Java3D, JOGL – Allows Swing applications to add JavaFX scenes, charts, media, and controls • High Definition Media 26 Controls • Simple, Rich, Useful • High customizable via CSS • Visually appealing • Complete out-of-the-box • Work well with data binding • Work well with tools 27 Performance • Small & fast – Measure static & dynamic footprint, and reduce both – Measure startup time & reduce it – Measure FPS, CPU, GPU for many graphics scenarios – Aggressively refactor making things small and fast • Measure, measure, measure – Engineers write performance tests – Measured on multiple platforms & configurations continuously – Write competitive performance benchmarks for everything we find. You write a blog with a benchmark, we try to compete. 28 Architecture 29 Basic Architecture Developers program to Java & JavaFX APIs the JavaFX APIs.

How- and its JIT compiler with dynamically-typed languages is ever, unlike with Java, a statically-typed language, the per- often lacking, lagging behind purpose-built language-specific formance of the JVM and its Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler JIT compilers. Making the JVM perform well with various with dynamically-typed languages lags behind purpose-built statically- and dynamically-typed languages clearly requires language-specific JIT compilers. In this paper, we aim to significant effort, not only in optimizing the JVM itself, but contribute to the understanding of the workloads imposed on also, more importantly, in optimizing the bytecode-emitting the JVM by dynamic languages. We use various metrics to language compiler, instead of just relying on the original JIT characterize the dynamic behavior of a variety of programs to gain performance [8]. This in turn requires that developers written in three dynamic languages (Clojure, Python, and of both the language compilers and the JVM understand the Ruby) executing on the JVM. We identify the differences characteristics of the JVM workloads produced by various with respect to Java, and briefly discuss their implications.

Language advocacy is a popular pastime with many programmers, but what many fail to realize is that programming languages are like tools: each is good at some things and next to useless at others. Java, inspired as it was by prior art like C and Smalltalk, sports a solid general-purpose syntax that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, there will always be those areas that, by their very nature, demand something a little more specialized.

Belfore, II Development of Virtual Environment (VE) applications is challenging where appli­ cation developers are required to have expertise in the target VE technologies along with the problem domain expertise. New VE technologies impose a significant learn­ ing curve to even the most experienced VE developer. The proposed solution relies on synthesis to automate the migration of a VE application to a new unfamiliar VE platform/technology.
