What does the 'FX' in 'JavaFX' stand for?


I am currently writing a text about JavaFX and tried to find references what the 'FX' actually stands for.

I found some discussions to whether it might mean 'Effects' or 'nothing particular at all'. But no clear statement.

Are there references to what the 'FX' in 'JavaFX' really stands for?


Solution

  • Most likely it stands for Java "special EFF-ECTS" as FX is normally the abbreviation given to special effects mostly sound or visual.
