'''JavaFX''' is a [[software]] platform]] for creating and delivering [[rich Internet application]]s that can run across wide variety of connected devices. The current release (JavaFX 1.2, June 2009) enables building applications for desktop, browser and mobile phones. TV set-top boxes, gaming consoles, [[Blu-ray]] players and other platforms are planned.

JavaFX is fully integrated with the [[Java Runtime Environment]] (JRE) – JavaFX applications will run on any desktop and browser that runs the JRE and on top of mobile phones running [[Java ME]].

# [[NetBeans]] IDE for JavaFX: NetBeans with drag-and-drop palette to add objects with transformations, effects and animations plus set of samples and best practices. For Eclipse users there is a community-supported plugin hosted on [[Project Kenai]] [<ref>http://kenai.com/projects/eplugin]</ref>

# Tools and plugins for creative tools (a.k.a. Production Suite): Plugins for [[Adobe Photoshop]] and [[Adobe Illustrator]] that can export graphics assets to JavaFX Script code, tools to convert SVG graphics into [[JavaFX Script]] code and preview assets converted to JavaFX from other tools
