OpenJFX is the open source mainline development project for JavaFX, a next-generation client application platform for building rich desktop, mobile, and embedded applications on the JVM. It provides a modern, fully featured UI toolkit licensed under GPL v2 with the Classpath exception, governed under the OpenJDK project.

Use cases

• build rich desktop applications in Java
• develop cross-platform GUI apps on the JVM
• create JavaFX-based mobile or embedded clients
• contribute to the JavaFX platform source code
• build modern UI toolkits on top of JavaSE
• port JavaFX to new platforms or devices

When to choose

• you are building rich client applications in Java or another JVM language
• you need a mature, fully featured UI toolkit with hardware-accelerated graphics
• you want to target desktop, mobile, and embedded systems from one codebase
• you need an open source, GPL-with-Classpath-exception licensed Java UI framework

When to avoid

• you are building server-side or web-only applications with no rich client UI
• you need a pure web/HTML frontend rather than a native client toolkit
• you require a permissive license like MIT or Apache rather than GPL with Classpath exception
• you are not working on the JVM platform
