Testing JavaFX Applet Deployment
Update: With getting on for a hundred responses from the community to this post, I’ve now written up an overview of the results, and given my interpretation.
With the release of version 1.2, the JavaFX platform is starting to become a viable choice for developing real-world, browser-based rich internet applications (RIAs). However, there are questions to be asked about deployment. In particular, it’s important to know what are the chances that people will actually be able to use a JavaFX app without having problems getting it to run.
In order to begin to answer this, I’d really appreciate your help in running a little test. Even a few seconds of your time would be valuable here (and if you have a few minutes, that’s even better), so I hope you can help.
Assuming you’re reading this blog on a desktop computer (as opposed to a mobile phone), below is – or should be(!) – some JavaFX running. If it’s running properly (note, it may take a few seconds to start) you should see a black rectangle with some colored triangles bouncing around inside the black rectangle. If you don’t have JavaFX installed, you should be prompted to install it.
Here’s what I’d like you to do:
- If you can see the colored bouncing triangles above, please leave a comment saying – “Works for me.”
- If you can see the colored bouncing triangles above, but you had to install JavaFX first, please leave a comment saying, “Works, but only after installing JavaFX.”
- If you can’t see the colored bouncing triangles, please leave a quick comment saying “Doesn’t work for me.”
If you can spare a little more time…
1. Please can you also include in your comment: a) what OS you’re running (e.g. Windows XP; Vista; Windows 7, Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Snow Leopard; Ubuntu Linux; OpenSolaris etc); and b) what browser you’re running e.g. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
2. Please give an estimate of how long for the applet to start e.g. 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes.
3. If the JavaFX didn’t work for you right away, didn’t work at all, or there was some other issue (e.g. problems with the way the applet repaints when you scroll the web-page) please give a short description of your problems.
Thanks so much in advance for your help with this…

Windows XP – Java 6u15, JavaFX installed
1) Chrome dev (4.x) – Doesn’t work. There’s a java icon in the status bar with the usual annoying bubble pop-up, and a forever spinning loading gif. Usually applets freeze on this browser so it’s definitely a step in the right direction
2) IE8: same thing
3) Firefox 3.5.1: works

Almost worksforme. In the cold start test (just open browser, no quickstart, no cached applet), the applet eventually appears but the webpage is cropped at the applet’s position, i.e., no content appears below the applet. Reloading the page fixes this.
This is not specific to this applet, it’s a very common experience for me, so much that I just got used to ignore it. Using Firefox 3.6a1, JRE 6u18ea-b01 on Vista SP2. So it’s a prety bleeding-edge setup with prerelease versions of both Java and FF, but these are no the problems, I’ve had the same issue with latest stable releases of both.

Took about 20 sec with Safari 4.0.3 and about 2 sec with FF 3.0.14 (don’t know, but might have been cached ?!). In both Browsers the ugly scrolling/repaint issue occurs, which is really annoying.

I tried on two computers. The first was Windows Vista with JDK 1.6 update 16. I had loaded a few JavaFX applets just minutes before visiting this web page, so the applet started instantly. Actually I had to scroll before I found it, so I don’t know how instant it was. When refreshing the page it was instant.
Next I tried on my OpenSolaris 2009 06 computer with JDK 1.6 update 13. I think it took 3 seconds before it showed the animated spinner indicating that it is loading. It never gets past that. I don’t think I can get JavaFX applets from anywhere working on here which is mind blowing since Java, JavaFX and Solaris all come from the same company. Interestingly the JavaFX.com samples are no longer loadable from the website. You can see a screenshot, or download the source code.

I’ve gone around to all the computers in my immediate family and made sure they had the latest JRE 6 (after update 10 came out). Hopefully they’ve been updating as new updates are pushed through the updater. One of my sister’s new Apple laptop comes with Java 6 Update 15 (I think) pre-installed, which is excellent.

I think it is because of the amd64 architecture of my system – apparently not yet supported – because it don’t even propose to install JavaFX
