Oh hmm, I'm honestly not super sure then. I know Gluon is the one that's seemingly has a business providing JavaFX support, while Oracle.. as far as I know doesn't offer a license or anything services in that direction? But I could be wrong. Gluon is mentioned in the article.. they have a very Qt-style confusing licensing situation where it's probably all free.. but you're never quite sure :)

The whole space is a lot more icky than one would like it to be.. Which is unfortunate b/c while it doesn't have a billion features, it's a nice composable reactive framework to use (at least from cljfx/clojure)



It is complicated.

There was a time Oracle decided it wasn't worth the investment, note that it started as E3 scripting under Sun and it was only finalised after the acquisition.

So a few Java champions took over it at Gluon.

Then when Java 26 was released, Oracle reintroduced support for JavaFX,

Oh huh, I guess it's pretty recent news. I wonder if it'll lead to new features. It's nice to see people are working on Native builds for instance, and that Graal integration is now an official priority of sorts.
