I did a search on the World-Wide Web, and got this:
?JavaFX - Analysts Express Doubts about Its Future?
?April 2, 2014?
?many industry observers believe the technology will
soon be obsolete?
?JavaFX is too little, too late.?
?the days of the RIA? ?are long gone?
If you believe I made this up, you can find this article via
a World-Wide Web fulltext search engine and then read the
full content of the article yourself.
There are several such articles.
And mostly I agree with them.
But you should realize what they are really saying.
They are not saying that "Swing were doing great for
Java applets and Java desktop apps, but now the change
from Swing to JavaFX will make it go bad".
They are saying that "Swing was doing poorly because
neither Java applets nor Java desktop apps were popular
and the change from Swing to JavaFX will not change that".
Could it be that JavaFX will be damaging Java?
It surely already has damaged Swing!
Java applets and Java desktop apps has been a very very
small part of Java world (maybe 1-2%) and the fact that
JavaFX will do as poorly as Swing when it comes to market
share will not have any impact on the success of Java.
