Hi, It's a bit complicated right now, I'd say it depends on your audience. If you expect only Windows and OS X users, go ahead. All JDK7 and JDK8 runtimes released by Oracle contain JavaFX (versions 2.2 and 8).
On Linux however, this is not as simple as people tend to use OpenJDK runtime rather than Oracle one, but not a single distribution include it by default. There's an openjfx package in Debian sid: https://packages.debian.org/sid/openjfx problem is it depends on this one: https://packages.debian.org/sid/openjdk-8-jre which is an extremely unstable package (seems to be an old development version of the next, unreleased, Java 8 upgrade 8u40: we have plenty of bug reports with this version). so currently on Linux users would have two choices to have a working environment: - install Oracle runtime - build their own, stable, runtime (based on JDK 7u72 or 8u25) We do not have considered the Java 8 migration yet, it's too early regarding the Linux situation. I hope when we'll switch to Java 8 we will be able to use FX features too :) 2015-01-02 21:04 GMT+01:00 Malcolm Herring <malcolm.herr...@btinternet.com>: > Is it possible to use JavaFX for a JOSM plugin?
