The FAQ was clear, crystal in fact. <BR/><BR/>JavaFX Script is a domain-specific, vertical language, integrated with Java UI services. Groovy isn't and shouldn't be. Groovy could never be as smooth at a domain-specific task as a domain-specific language. That should stop Groovy from integrating JavaFX Script as it does XML, JSON and such. <BR/><BR/>Is that degree of smoothness found in JavaFX really necessary? I think so. <BR/><BR/>As pointed out, the real problems are Java/Swing deployment (JavaFX inherits those problems) and to a lesser extent tooling. Tools can be created and JavaFX lends itself well to GUI building tools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
