Develop rich applications that run consistently on the desktop, in web browsers, on TV sets, and on mobile devices.

JavaFX Projects improved!

The NetBeans IDE is the recommended tool to create, test, debug, and deploy JavaFX applications for all the screens of your life. Deploy your Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) as Java webstart, browser applet, on mobile devices and TV systems, or create stand-alone Java desktop applications.

The new JavaFX Composer is a visual layout tool for JavaFX applications, like the NetBeans GUI Builder is for Java SE applications.

Full JavaFX Mobile Support

The JavaFX SDK comes with a JavaFX Mobile Emulator. Benefit from Java ME's ubiquity, security, and advanced APIs, including support for media, GPS, cameras, filesystem, networking, and Bluetooth.

If you already know Java ME, you can re-use existing code and skills. If you already know JavaFX, you can create mobile applications with the same familiar language, APIs, and tools. Everytime you write a JavaFX desktop application with the common profile, you are also writing for mobile devices.

JavaFX Debugging and Profiling

The improved Debugger uses the common debugger infrastructure so you benefit from better extensibility and performance.

Use the integrated Profiler for standard CPU or memory profiling, or simple monitoring to optimize your JavaFX application's speed and memory usage. The options have been preset to default values by experts, but you can customize settings for a specific application.
