What's Actually Interesting About JavaFX - From The Technical And Business Perspective

Java FX wasn't that great news. Netbeans 6.0 plugin was already available for ages (at least months) - so you could play with it. However there were some interesting strategic movements announced at the JavaONE 2008:

Java FX will come with a video and audio codecs from on2 - the demo was really impressive. This makes Java interesting for video / audio streaming
Appets can be dragged outside the browser and installed as WebStart - this is really great idea and very useful
Java FX will come with some instrumentation which will allow the monitoring of user behavior in all layers (I'm already curious, how it is will be implemented :-)) - something like "Business JMX"
The integration with Scenegraph and JWebPane (Swing compatible WebKit implementation) is really exciting and opens new opportunities...
JDK 16.u10 was already available - however it could complement the package

So - let see what happens at JavaONE 2009 :-).
