7. Bringing back rich-client Java
• The web, originally intended for sharing
hypertext-linked resources, has been
force-fit into being a rich-client platform
• The JRE with JavaFX is a much better
client platform, enabling graphically rich,
fast performing applications
• See Chapter 1 JavaFX Can’t Bring Rich-
Client Java Back by Itself section

31. 6. Deploying JavaFX apps
• Some options are Java WebStart and
running as an applet
– e.g. Icon at well-known web page that
invokes TweetBrowser via Java WebStart
• Another good deployment option is
creating an installer
– “there’s an app for that”
– See related FXexperience.com blog post
– Packager available in JavaFX 2.2
