I do not find any OpenJFX binaries. There is only an instruction on how
to compile them.
Just looking at the *normal* Windows "overload" (Cygwin etc ... instead
of Visual Studio) that is needed to compile the sources ... well native
code = dll / so files.
Have fun to distribute that properly if OpenJFX is not included in the
Java JRE or is not available as an installer.

Hallo,
I want to reopen the discussion about dropping support for java 1.6
for future versions of saros -- those including a new GUI. This
affects only the JRE launching the IDE.
My motivation behind this is that I would like to have the opportunity
to use Java FX at least for displaying HTML pages in the provided
browser. As a side note, it is *theoretically* possible to run Java FX
2 with JRE 1.6, but not in a platform independent way or without the
installation of further libraries.
A further drawback of Java Fx is that it is not included in the
average OpenJDK bundle. However, a quick google search showed that
there is the OpenJFX project which part of the OpenJDK project. So it
seems users would not be forced to use the official JDK but only to
install additional software.
If we are not willing to require a JRE>= 1.7, I see only two
alternatives if we want to build a HTML-GUI:
1. Embedding SWT in IntelliJ which has proven to be quite painful but
not totally impossible.
2. Embedding the Swing-based jxBrowser (commercial but free of cost
for us) in Eclipse which I have not tried yet.
I do not think that using different browsers for Eclipse and IntelliJ
is in the best interest of reducing duplicate code.
Best Regards,
Christian
