Here is a great presentation on the upcoming Consumer JRE. For JavaFX to succeed, the Consumer JRE has to solve the following issues with the current runtime:
- Large download size
- Start up speed of applications
- Simpler runtime update
The presentation shows how these issues are solved.
And finally, last but not least, the look and feel is also addressed. A new and very nice looking L&F called Nimbus will be available with the Consumer JRE.
