This weekend I dived back into JavaFX again. JavaFX 1.2 has been out for a while now, and I have wanted to try out JavaFX again, ever since I took 1.0 for a spin about a year ago. At that time there was no support for JavaFX on Linux. This, combined with the fact that it JavaFX had no UI controls for data input, meant that I had no practical use for it since I am not really a visual designer but more of an application developer. Luckily now ,JavaFX runs officially on Linux, and whats more 1.2 introduced the first version of the charting API, somethings that worth looking at!
