Hi all, here is an additional feedback from my team to the JavaFX related questions... > I think there are still a couple of questions that would make this > clear: > > 1) Will it be possible to build a 1.2.1 JavaFX app using 6.8.1? No. JavaFX 1.3 is not compatible with 1.2.1 from API point of view at IDE integration level. We need to completely rebuild our support, it is quite impossible to keep the two FX SDKs supported side by side in the IDE. > > 2) If not what is it that binds JavaFX and Netbeans together to > prevent that. JavaFX team is changing completely structure of SDK, API of SDK etc. Version 1.3 of FX SDK has little to nothing comparing to 1.2.1 :-( . This is also significant issue for us, because it is costly design/change to support. > > Basically, if it is possible to stay with 1.2.1 if you want that > would be okay. If you are forced to move to 1.3 when you upgrade to > 6.8.1 that would be interesting. Does that make sense? A user can use both 6.8 and 6.8.1 in parallel if she needs to do FX 1.2.1 and FX 1.3 development together. Needless to say that JavaFX team will remove 1.2.1 bits after 1.3 is available (this is expected as in the past it was the case), so the only way to get the older FX SDK will be with the older NetBeans. > > Ultimately I'm trying to understand how closely bound together these > two things are.
