WidgetFX 0.1.5

WidgetFX is an open-source desktop widget platform written from the ground up in the JavaFX Script language.
WidgetFX is able to run widgets written in JavaFX Script and Java, and to take advantage of the latest features in the Java Consumer JRE (Java SE 6 Update 10).
How WidgetFX differs from existing Java deployment options (Applets/Web Start):
- Low-memory Footprint - Within a browser applets can share a single VM, but once they are dragged to the desktop to be "web-startified" they lose this capability. For a large number of widgets, this will quickly add up to a large footprint both in memory and JVM startup time.
- Open on Startup - Widget containers both startup automatically on boot and also start any widgets that were open on close. While you could add hooks to a web-start application to do this for a single application, it is not as seamless as having the user "expect" your widget to be there on start-up.
- Widget Mindshare - Widgets are becoming mainstream, and while they may be comparable to desktop applications, Java will not be perceived as being a player in this space without having a viable offering.

Main features:
- Open-Source - WidgetFX is a fully open-source widget platform (widgets themselves can be licensed commercially)
- Cross-Platform Support - WidgetFX runs on all major platforms including Mac OS X, Windows XP/Vista, and Linux.
- One-Click Installation - WidgetFX takes advantage of Java Web Start to provide one-click installation and automatic updates of the dock and widgets.
- Rich Desktop Applications - WidgetFX leverages the full power of Java and JavaFX providing a very rich library of graphics, animation, and media capabilities.
