I have read about JAVAFX it is suppose to be the rival to Actionscript , a way for JAVA to gain the lost ground that FLASH has. The problem is that I hear alot of JAVAFX instabilities.

I do not think JAVAFX is a product ready to be used.

Why you want to use JAVAFX ?

Eclipse can work with JAVAFX.

JavaFX is not yet officially supported on Linux. Sun has promised that they will support Linux in the future.

There are some people who managed to get JavaFX 1.0 working on Linux; search for "JavaFX Linux" with Google and you'll find some info. For example: http://java.dzone.com/news/javafx-10-linux-netbeans-ide

JavaFX is supposed to be a competitor for Flash, just like Microsoft's Silverlight (and the open source implementation of Silverlight called Moonlight, that runs on Mono, the open source implementation of .NET). Whether JavaFX or Silverlight / Moonlight will ever be serious competition for Flash remains to be seen, but JavaFX does look promising from a Java programmer's perspective. It could make programming nice-looking GUIs in Java a lot easier than it is now with Swing.

JavaFX 1.0 probably isn't fully ready for production-quality code (despite the 1.0 version number), but it is an interesting new technology to have a closer look at.

JavaFX is closed-source software only for Windows & Mac.
