Will the latest version of Java 6 use JavaFX 2 out of the box
Since Java 7 is not as popular as Java 6, I wonder if you can use WebView and other things in the latest update of Java 6 JRE without users downloading JavaFX on their system
Solution
No, Java 6 won't use JavaFX 2 out of the box
If you develop a new JavaFX application today, I recommend targeting the minimum version of the Java runtime 7u9, for the following reasons
>Java runtime 6 and JavaFX for Java runtime 6 will stop public release in February of 2013. > The Java runtime for JavaFX is only available for a separate download of the installation – this may confuse users of the application. > JavaFX for Java 6 runtime is only applicable to windows. Due to Oracle's Java runtime AutoUpdate for windows, Java on Windows machines is usually the latest public version. > If you position your application to the minimum JavaFX 2.2 and Java runtime 7u6, your application will run more kinds of platforms (windows, MAC, Linux) and have more deployment options (such as self contained applications)
