Javafx 2.0

Javafx 2.0 beta is released.  GA is scheduled in Q3 2011.

The big change is they finally get rid of javafx script.  Javafx will now uses Java as its language.
This is a welcoming change.  Quoting Javafx PM in oracle: "most java developers want to use the same language to develop their UI".
Potentially, this enables developers to build web applications where frontend and backend use the same language.
