One of the promises of JavaFX is ability to run inside a web browser just like Flex applications run inside Flash player. Here is how to deploy and launch the application in a web browser. With JavaFX, the application is running inside Java virtual machine or maybe we can call it JavaFX player.

Using this example, to compile we typed:

javafxc Echo.fx

To run this application:

javafx Echo

If you look in directory in which you compiled, you should see similar output to this (only showing *.class files):

Echo$1.class
Echo$2.class
Echo$3$1.class
Echo$3.class
Echo.class
Echo$Intf.class

We need to archive all these files for deployment:

jar -cvf Echo.jar *.class

Finally, create HTML page:

    
        JavaFX Echo Application
    
    
        
	

	JavaFX Echo Application
	
	
            javafx(
            {
                archive: "Echo.jar",
                draggable: false,
                width: 350,
                height: 200,
                code: "Echo",
                name: "Echo"
            }
        );
        
    

The JavaScript file referenced will make sure you have the right Java runtime.
