JavaFX 2.0 Beta available for download

nlorain-Oracle

The much-anticipated JavaFX 2.0 beta release is now available for download (http://javafx.com/downloads) —which means you can take advantage of all the new benefits that JavaFX 2.0 brings to the Java platform. This release is the latest development in Oracle’s long-term commitment (http://javafx.com/roadmap) to making JavaFX a premier rich client platform.

JavaFX provides a powerful and expressive Java-based UI platform capable of handling large-scale computationally intensive data-driven business applications. JavaFX applications are completely developed in Java while leveraging the power of standards-based programming practices and design patterns. JavaFX provides a rich set of UI controls, graphics and media API with high-performance hardware-accelerated graphics, web and media engines to simplify development of immersive visual applications. JavaFX developers can preserve existing investments by reusing Java libraries in their JavaFX applications. They can even access native system capabilities via the Java native interface, or seamlessly connect to server-based Java EE middleware applications.

JavaFX 2.0 Beta is now available for download from javafx.com. Please help us make JavaFX successful by testing it at an early stage and report any issues (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com) you encounter. For detailed tutorials and API documentation, see http://download.oracle.com/javafx.

Still in development apparently. Look here: http://javafx.com/faq/#5

Are there any plans for [url http://www.webmproject.org/]WebM support?

That is great. But when should we expect version for Linux.
Is it possible to get development version, unofficially?

JavaFX 2.0 will not be available on Linux. Linux will be supported in a future release, and we will most likely make an early access version available at that time
