Java FX 2 on IBM jdk?

问题:

Does IBM's java 7 bundle Java FX 2? I have JDK Version 7 Release 1 for Linux (32 bit) and it doesn't seem to contain it. If it doesn't, can I still use it, and what do I need to do for that?

Thanks

No, IBM Java 7 does not include JavaFX 2.

The Oracle distributions of Java 7 and 8 are the only supported Java runtimes that include JavaFX that I am aware of at this time.

JavaFX 2 is mostly closed source, so you can't really port it to any other runtimes.

JavaFX 8 is completely open source, so you should be able to port it to other runtime environments. Normally JavaFX 8 requires Java 8, but there is a Java 7 compatible back port of JavaFX 8 which you could (try to) run on IBM Java 7. If you want JavaFX 8 to work on an IBM JDK, it would probably be easiest to try building JavaFX 8 against the IBM JDK 8 beta and seeing if that works. I'm sure IBM would thank you if you are able to make it work and let them know how you did it.
