Java FX

Sun announced a new framework called JavaFX Script and also JavaFX Mobile. This is sun's answer to Flex/Flash and Silverlight.
Script is built ontop of JRE (Java Runtime) and Swing, which allows it to be cross platform straight out of the box. The code itself is not java, instead it is a declarative syntax allowing for more dynamic features and Sun have clearly stated it is mainly intended for UI development and not business workflow. It can call/be called from Java classes.
