Hi there!

It was really great to use SceneToJComponent, which enables me to load fx thing in a JComponent, and then can be added in a JFrame.

But my problem is that how can I unload this loaded screen , coz I have load and unload fx screens in a loop.

Waiting for reply eagerly.
Thanks!!

Existing JavaFX applications will continue to use the version listed in their JNLP file (in your case JavaFX 1.2). Likewise, whatever version of JFXtras you have linked against will continue to be used (in your case JFXtras 0.5), so you are safe in the event of a JavaFX upgrade by Sun.

After a JavaFX release, if you choose to upgrade your application, you would need to upgrade both JavaFX and JFXtras simultaneously. This is because it is almost guaranteed that the next major version of JavaFX will not be binary compatible, so your application and all dependent libraries will need to be updated and recompiled.

I hope this helps clarify!

Hi!

I have one question.
For example i release an application using JFXtras 0.5. What will happen when sun/oracle releases new version of Java that supports future versions of JavaFX (i.e. 1.3)
Will my application crash if user uses new version of Java?

thx for response.
