JavaFX

JavaFX is the next step in the evolution of Java as a rich client platform.
Pricing:
- Open Source
>> What is Java's equivalent of Xamarin or Avalonia? Xamarin - RoboVM was a Java-based competitor to Xamarin which Xamarin acquired in 2015, but it was shutdown in 2017 after Microsoft acquired Xamarin. There are some Java-based toolkits such as https://www.codenameone.com/ that target mobile, but they are probably not as well funded as Xamarin has been under Microsoft. From what I hear Xamarin will be deprecated and replaced by MAUI. Avalonia - Java has had multiplatform windowing for much longer than C# has. The Java Swing toolkit has been part of Java for more than a decade and is still supported in OpenJDK. JavaFX (https://openjfx.io/) is a newer toolkit that was originally part of Java and was later spun out into its own project. How well are Xamarin and Avalonia supported if you are doing C# development on Mac or Linux? >> How do I run Java on iOS? As stated above, some tools such as https://www.codenameone.com/ and https://github.com/google/j2objc that convert Java code to target iOS. I have never tried using those tools so I am not sure how good they are.
