I recently conducted a survey asking the community to tell me which features they are missing the most in JavaFX 8. The survey has been closed by now. It received over 100 submissions from various people, various companies, various industries. Overall the participants very quite satisfied with JavaFX so I would argue that the feedback was submitted by people who really care about the platform and would like to see it evolve over time.

The following chart shows the exact distribution of the answers given by the participants when asked how satisfied they were with JavaFX.

Categories / Issue Areas

The feature requests can be roughly grouped into these categories:

  • Table View
  • Performance
  • Quality
  • Properties
  • CSS & FXML
  • OpenGL & 3D
  • Media
  • Missing Controls
  • Missing API
  • Other

I will try to create a blog for each one of these categories over the next couple of weeks. So stay tuned!
