Hi, Josh I'd really like to start using JavaFX. I'm on a Linux machine. I'd really like to start but my options seem to be find a Windows or Mac machine or to hack out the Java only bits from a dmg or exe file.
Is there any chance of getting a "beta" which doesn't include any platform specific code for easy download. I'm particularly interested in the Netbeans tooling. (I suppose I can build from source?)
