Still no javafx for Linux? March 3, 2009

I use a lot of Sun software: java, mysql, virtualbox, solaris, solaris cluster, etc.
Today, while having a look at webservices as an alternative to Swing clients, I decided to have a look at Sun’s attempt at the RIA market: Java FX.
Sadly, the javafx sdk has only be released for windows and macos. I guess Sun doesn’t get it that it needs as many developers as possible as its alternative is a few years late compared to the competitors. And a lot of linux users are developers/admins…
I know they are workarounds to get the sdk running on linux, but why bother?
