JavaFX 14 is available to help developers create cross-platform GUI applications with a single codebase. Improvements include HTTP/2 support with an embedded browser, controlled by native Java code.

JavaFX was an important part of Sun's strategy for fighting back and restoring Java's client-side relevance, but it was poorly communicated and weakly executed.

JavaFX, Oracle’s 10-year-old rich client development technology for Java, will be decoupled from the Java Development Kit (JDK) and broken out into its own separate module.

JavaFX 19, the latest iteration of the Java-based rich client application platform, has been released, with enhancements for video and CSS capabilities.
