JavaFX for the Enterprise - Working Group

[Tobias Bley]

Why should we reinvent the wheel? Oracle has shown demos for JavaFX on iOS, Android and Windows two years ago on JavaOne 2011. So there seams to be already a solution there! 

Where are the guys here who created these demos n JavaOne 2011?

Best regards,
Tobi
