The main difference between the two is the language in which they are written. JavaFX applications are created using the JavaFX Script language and are compiled with a separate compiler that sits atop the Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment. You can use JavaFX Script to create Java applets, but applets can of course be written in Java without using JavaFX.
JavaFX Script is specifically geared toward creating rich interfaces and is meant to make it easier to design such applications, while Java on its own is much more broadly focused.
