Hi Steve,
I am in the process of building a portable application that needs to be run from a flash drive. It should work on both mac and win machines as well. (cell phones micro SD in the future)
I was initially thinking about writing this SWING / Derby and embed or package a jre on the devise. I am really excited about JavaFX, but I am not sure if JavaFX is the right tool for my problem.
Some of my questions are -
How do I package my JavaFX application? executable jar?
Do I need internet connection to run my application?
Can you share insights in to this please?
Thanks
Sunil
Sunil,
I believe Sun has plans to both release JavaFX as part of the JRE download and also include an embeddable database at some point in the future, but I can’t tell you when…
You should probably ask this question on the JavaFX forums instead.
Cheers,
–Steve
If you have ANY contacts @ Sun (and I’m sure you do
you REALLY REALLY REALLY need to push them to make the Nokia N810x internet tablets officially supported with Sun’s JavaSE and JavaFX…
I also really really really think they should bring Project Semplice back to life
Imagine being able to write VB code and get JavaFX bytecode!!
