Oracle發佈Java SE 7 for Mac預覽；JDK 8將包含JavaFX

在兩次重大活動（Oracle OpenWorld 和 JavaOne ）之間，Oracle採起了 一系列措施，向人們證實他們仍有心將Java推向桌面。

首先，他們發佈了Java SE 7 for Mac 的 一個「開發者預覽」，正式版本定於2012年第二季度發佈。它標誌着Mac OS X 下的Java的首個官方發佈；雖不是來自蘋果，卻也包含了由蘋果貢獻的代碼。

Oracle同時帶來了新的、基於Java語言的 JavaFX 2.0 Beta版本，並與此同時宣佈了他們在OpenJDK 項目下 將其開源並集成入JDK 8的意向。並且他們還 演示了運行在iOS和Android上面的JavaFX應用程序（可 在此查看圖片和更多細節），雖然他們並未就其做任何許諾。即便以上這些都只是Oracle爲了掩飾本身對Java的無能，我相信，許多開發者都會樂於看到，Oracle終於仍是給Java帶來了一絲新的氣息。

Oracle Previews Java SE 7 for Mac; JDK 8 To Include JavaFX

In the midst of the dual events Oracle OpenWorld and JavaOne (overshadowed, of course, by the iPhone event) Oracle took a number of steps that show that they still care about making a go of Java on the desktop.

First, they released a "Developer Preview" of Java SE 7 for Mac, the final version of which is now scheduled for Q2 2012. This marks the first official release of Java for Mac OS X which isn't coming from Apple, but still incorporates code that Apple contributed.

Oracle also brought the new, Java-language-based JavaFX 2.0 out of beta, while simultaneously announcing their intention to open-source it under the OpenJDK project and integrate it into JDK 8. And they demoed JavaFX apps running on iOS and Android (see here for pics and more details), although they're not making any promises on that count. Cue the "I'm not dead yet" jokes, etc., etc. Still, I'm sure many developers out there are happy to see Oracle finally blowing some fresh wind into these sails.
