Im new here so pls forgive the newbie questions, but im wondering what
the relationship is btween 'fx 1.3 and visage?

Reason that i ask is that i have a substantial 1.3 app that we thought
was orphaned without resources for a complete rewrite to 2.0.

Im wondering now if i can build my 1.3 app with visage? what sort of
effort required? Would visage now allow me to extend my 1.3 appa with
2.0 features?

Thx,

Stephen Chin

The goal is to get Visage working on JavaFX 2.0. There will be some
small differences along the way due to API changes the JavaFX team has
made, but it should be closer to an upgrade than a rewrite.

So far we have had good success with wrapping the JavaFX 2.0 APIs. It
looks and feels very similar to to JavaFX 1.3 (which in my opinion is a
good thing).

That said, please don't base any business decisions on out project
progress. We are all volunteers working on this in our spare time, so
we can't commit to firm deadlines on when we will have stable releases
out.

Of course, if you like this direction, we would be glad to have your
help in accelerating this project. :)

Cheers,
--Steve
