We are starting a new Desktop application and considering using javafx but we are a bit confused given the recent announcement by oracle that javafx scripting is not going to be developed further.
Since we cannot wait for javafx 2.0, is it a good idea to use the version 1.3 (which) or should we look at a different technology?
Your opinion will be very much appreciated.

Starting with JDK 11, Oracle will remove JavaFX from the JDK, though will continue to provide commercial support for it in Oracle JDK 8 at least until 2022, according to Oracle's blog. The technology, which is used to write cross platform, rich-client applications, will become available as a separate download.
JavaFX was introduced in May 2007 by Java founder Sun Microsystems in an attempt to bring Java to the forefront of rich client development for desktops and mobile devices, competing with Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight. Oracle took control when it acquired Sun in 2010.
GWT, Vaadin, Qt, JSF, and Electron are the most popular alternatives and competitors to JavaFX.
JavaFX 2.0 has been released General Availability http://javafx.com and http://javafx.com/downloads/all.jsp
and the roadmap has been updated http://javafx.com/roadmap/
