Should JavaFX redirect here? |

Line 9:
:I've heard of JavaFX Script in an article (in italian) [http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?id=1979467] where it is presented as an alternative to AJAX, MS Silverlight and Abobe Apollo. For the renaming from F3, I cannot reach the server, but if you checked that the syntax is the same, I agree the merging too --- [[User:Katanzag|Katanzag]] 07:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
: As it is the new name of the former F3, the two articles should be merged. [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] 22:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
== Should JavaFX redirect here? ==
Sun's announcements are somewhat vague on the matter. Most references suggest that JavaFX is a family of products, of which the scripting languages is merely one component. But the FAQ has this little gem:
'''Why is the JavaFX Script name so long?'''
Although the official name of the scripting language is JavaFX
Script, we expect many programmers to just call it JavaFX as it
is the core of the JavaFX family.
I expect therefore it is another example of an overloaded term, like 'Java' itself, which is used to refer to a platform and a language (etc.) For now I've changed the redirect for "Javafx" to point to "JavaFX", rather than "JavaFX Script". The JavaFX article provides a prominent link to the scripting article, so inquisitive eyes won't get waylaid.
