JavaFX 2.0 is the exciting new desktop technology for Java. Designed to easily co-exist with existing Swing code, it makes it easy to create feature-rich client applications with lots of eye candy and effects.
In our quest to produce the best Java PDF Viewer (and let's be honest as developers we like any excuse to play with cool, new technologies), we have been investigating the potential of JavaFX and offer several open source solutions which make use of it.

PDF Plugin with JavaFX Conversion option

This is now in all our PDF plugins. We saw a very impressive tool to convert some image format to JavaFX so we added a PDF to JavaFX option into our free PDF viewer plugin for NetBeans. If there is interest, we will extend it to our PDF viewer plugins for Eclipse and IDEA.
