Good thing I can read both, but I guess not all visitors

glücklich dass ich beide Sprachen lesen kann (und ein bisschen schreiben), aber ich denke nicht alle Besucher.

Hi Gerbrand,
I would like to ask you the same question as HHS:
We have real big application that uses JavaFX 1.3 script, and we really need the FX Translator, but I can not find it.
Can you please post link to this Translator?
Thank you

Knowing Oracle usually supports end-of-life software for quite some time, your existing software will still function quite some time. However, to be able to use new features converting to a new platform would be a good idea.
Scala looks like a very good fit. The syntax is a bit similar to javafx (notable, the usage of the def keyword). Using the Scala features to extend the language, creating an internal DSL (domain specific language) that mimics JavaFX wouldn’t be too hard. Unfortunately I haven’t found an internal JavaFX DSL yet, and my JavaFX-script as well as Scala knowledge is slightly to limited to create one. Nevertheless, there’s a big chance someone will develop such an internal DSL eventually. This would mean the JavaFX code inside Scala can look almost like JavaFX 1.3 code, so no translation is even necessary (just copy&paste).

This might be an interesting presentation (maybe you’ve already seen it): JavaFX with alternative languages. Not all the examples in the presentation don’t work without minor changes, the API seems to have changed since the presentation (not surprisingly, since JavaFX 2.0 was still in development). Notable, the JavaFXApplication class is now just called Application.
