RedFX provides a JavaFX widget library that connects front-end JavaFX widgets with services running on GlassFish, without writing any boiler plate code.
Why they picked GlassFish ?
- Its the Reference Implementation of Java EE 6 and contains all the latest specifications implemented.
- First-class open source application server
- Quality is very very good
- Scalability is enormous
- Code is very easy to understand
Hear Johan Vos share all the juicy details in this video captured at the recently concluded JavaOne:

The library can be downloaded here.
