But that JavaFX can work with that and is that small surprised me slightly given how much OpenJFX takes up, but as you say looking closer it's all webkit! Still, if we went the route of libchromiumcontent, I assume that doesn't manage window creation? At least, Electron seems to have its own code for this. Just wondering aloud that if we went the route of libchromiumcontent and a JRE what size a fully HTML UI bundle would be, and what would be missing if attempting to do this without AWT? > Your experiment sounds like alot of fun :) > Yes, fun, and thanks for your code, which along with the CUBA Studio stuff made it fairly easy to put the pieces together. Incidentally, CUBA Studio itself is an example of a Java HTML5 UI (shipped in Electron) which seems pretty good. I hadn't realised we didn't have a browser-based presenter at Apache? I thought it had been mentioned as a fallback for the start page when this was discussed a while back. I'm going to experiment with mapping to the Electron desktop, window and menu systems from Java and see how that goes. But that's for another time - I'm meant to be finishing off Praxis LIVE v4!
