How to embebed javafx 2.1 in an installation package

Question

I need to distribute a javafx 2.1 application but the client doesn't want to be asked if he wants to install javafx 2.1. It should be automatically installed. Does someone know how to wrap it in a dmg and in an exe package??

Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

There is a tutorial here: http://fxexperience.com/2012/03/packaging-javafx-applications-as-native/

and there (although for 2.2): https://blogs.oracle.com/talkingjavadeployment/entry/native_packaging_for_javafx

Answer 2

Finally I got it !!!!

I'm going to explain how I got it from my perspective. Sorry if it sounds a little bit dummy but I'm not used to build desktop applications and with a new technology as javafx is even more difficult for me.

1. Download the latest version of the jdk (in this case the 7.0 one).
2. Follow the steps from the tutorial and include your .jar and the jfxrt.jar
3. As a main class I set com.javafx.main.Main
4. Create the application and now, the most important part:
5. Once the application has been created, open it (right click on the app and "show package content". Go to the folder: Content/Resources/Java.
6. Do the same operation with the vm: go to /Java/JavaVirtualMachines and right click on the 1.7.0.jdk to open the Contents folder.
7. Copy ALL the .jar and .dylib from the jdk to the java resources in your application
8. Run the application and it will work :)
