Hi Richard, thank you for your fast answer. I know you are a bussy man. The longer I think about that, the longer I am getting angry to see a 100 men powered development team to build a demo on a demo board for a hand full nerds. I don't know where you got that impression. Jasper did

Richard, why do you choose Rasp.PI as demo platform instead of iPad or Android tablet? I really believe in you JFX guys and I really believe that you all love to see JFX on tablets. So I don’t understand why you can’t open your mouth, go to your management and legal department and tell him,

I suppose „legal reasons“…. For me it’s very frustrating to see every year the same procedure: JavaFX-iOS/Android related tracks were canceled - „nerd“ stuff like Rasp.PI, DukePad Co were announced. Maybe I’m really the only one who needs JavaFX on mobile to use JavaFX on desktop as well… :(

No, you are *not* the only one. We *all* need it. In fact, without it happening soon, JavaFX is already dead. But let's not give up yet. Perhaps it's closer than we know. I am a glass half full kinda guy :-) On 30 Sep 2013, at 16:40, Tobias Bley t...@ultramixer.com wrote: I suppose

The lack of information on iOS/Android is a major bummer, but this also highlights a deeper problem here. We have a situation where Oracle won't talk to this community because the topic is important, it's too big a game changer for them to comment on. It's tied in with share prices, and market

I'm also optimistic. We've all seen that it's possible from the technical side… I think it takes quite some time to get legal approvement inside Oracle to show something. Probably those guys simply didn't get their talks legally approved in time. BTW: There's a new implementation of JavaFX

If you add the pieces of information together (announced and then shortly cancelled J1 talks), you perfectly get the right picture. The *problem* certainly is not the technical part. While I disagree that the RPi is just nerd stuff (the embedded market is huge), I agree however that any further
