I Want to See Apps Like this Developed in JavaFX

I Stumbled Upon an app today that represents one type of program that I'd like to see prevalent in JavaFX.  The type of program that I'm talking about is the kind that:

• occupies the entire browser as a JavaFX applet, resizing with the browser,
• is integrated with the browser's navigation buttons,
• is indistinguishable from a Web page (other than it does amazing rich-client stuff), and
• has a Web 2.0++ look and behavior.

The app that I saw today is searchme (which I believe was developed using Flex because it runs in Flash Player 10), and here's a screenshot:

Shown above is a "stack" that I created, named JavaFX, by dragging pages that searchme found into the stack facility.  Also shown is a magnifying glass with which you can zoom in on the current page.

My hat is off to Searchme, Inc. for creating such an innovative and useful app, and I look forward to spotting apps of this style and caliber written in JavaFX.  Please reply with a comment to this post, or alert me via email (jim.weaver at javafxpert.com) when you've spotted or created one.

"Is there a way to add JavaFX code dynamically like javascript ? In other words receive javaFX code ( not .jar) and execute it."

Dante,

JavaFX supports Java Scripting (JSR-223), and also has an FX.eval() function. In both cases, the javafxc.jar file must be on the user's classpath because dynamic compilation is required.

Thanks,

Good morning
Is there a way to add JavaFX code dynamically like javascript ? In other words receive javaFX code ( not .jar) and execute it.

"Does anyone know where there is a good tutorial, book, online class or any other learning method for NetBeans 6.5 with Javafx. It is very perplesing and discouraging to try and learn something from scratch like javafx and get either bogged down in heavy code on the first try or find out after many trials that the code used by Sun Programmers won't work on NetBeans 6.5. I would appreciate any help."

Jerry,
