sorry if putting 2 questions like this is against the rules, but they have to do with each other....



I want to know how the graphical capabilities of JavaFX compare to JOGL? I also read that you can mix the 2 so i want to know if you are designing a business appication used by industry professionals and you have OpenGL code would it be better to use Java SE, EE, or FX? How does FX compare to the others? Are there any disadvantages to using FX over either of the others?

No one? I would really like to know if it's worth it to go to JOGL? It seems like support is very little and only supported by volunteers... It is very weird since Sun created both.... is FX the new wave for 3D rendering and programming?

If you look at the main page for the JavaFX forum here you will notice it doesn't get a lot of traffic (posts on the first page from April last year)
Have you tried the Oracle JavaFX forum ? That seems a bit busier.

JOGL is a low-level API for working with 3D graphics; it's more or less a direct mapping of OpenGL functions to Java. JavaFX is a much higher-level API. As such, JOGL and JavaFX are not directly comparable.
