Sun is somewhat vague on just what JavaFX does. I suspect it allows you to write hybrid apps that will run unmodified standalone on a desktop, as Applets in browsers or in cell phones. JavaFX supports a way of doing 3D drawings without writing Java code, just parameters to describe geometrical objects, something like Pov-Ray (Persistence Of Vision Ray). NetBeans has special facilities for JavaFX. I have heard it described as stripped down Swing, an Ajax replacement, and a Java-based Flash.
I am reminded of an old Saturday Night live skit with Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd.
Wife: New Shimmer is a floor wax!
Husband: No, new Shimmer is a dessert topping!
Spokesman: Hey, hey, hey, calm down, you two. New Shimmer is both a floor wax and a dessert topping!
JavaFX supports JMC (Java Media Components).
