JavaFX on ARM running jdk1.8.0

Question

I know that Oracle removed JavaFX in 8u33, but I\'m wondering why I can\'t use JavaFX with jdk1.8.0? I got it from the Oracle archives (http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/j

Answer 1

You can download an updated and upgraded version of JavaFX for ARM from here: JavaFX Embedded SDK

Once downloaded on your Raspberry Pi, you'll need to extract and copy the content into your JDK 1.8 (check this link for embedded).

You will be able to run the latest JavaFX version for ARM* on your Pi, including the WebView control.

Also, using the Gluon plugin for your IDE, you'll be able to deploy remotely the project on your Pi as well.

EDIT

*ARM: Note that JavaFX for ARM has never supported Swing. Other features like the WebView and Media weren't supported either, but recently these have been included in Gluon's build.
