I actually didn’t get as far as you did. Once I ran into the problems with trying to refer to JavaFX classes from the Java side I pretty much gave up on it. Incomplete wrapper language seems like a good description. It feels like it was rushed out the door for strategic reasons, rather than designed to be useful.

As you point out… Silverlight and JavaFX both need to solve the deployment problems. That is the biggest barrier to adoption. Silverlight seems to be on that path but I’m not sure JavaFX really has a chance since Oracle doesn’t have any real connection to the consumer audience. JavaFX could catch on for behind the firewall apps but I see less and less people wanting to build on UI technologies that don’t work for multiple mediums and audiences.

Keep up the blogging!
