OpenJFX is a project beneath the charter of the OpenJDK. The OpenJDK Bylaws and License govern our work. The OpenJFX project membership can be found on the OpenJDK Census.

History

JavaFX evolved from the F3 project at Sun Microsystems. Initial releases were based around the JavaFX Script language, however, in 2011 the toolkit was completely rewritten in Java and released by Oracle as JavaFX 2.0. In October 2011, Oracle announced that it would donate the JavaFX toolkit to the open source community and by November 2011 the OpenJDK Community agreed to take it on. OpenJFX is now open source and able to be built completely based on open sources.
