JP:
Thanks for the additional information. I've seen some indication that the
Felix team are considering how to handle the JavaFX issues as well.
Perhaps it is time to investigate Karaf further -- but it adds a lot of
additional capabilities that a client doesn't actually need if I understand
correctly. When I get back to programming I'll have to investigate
further the options offered by Karaf. Right now I'm concentrating on
getting my knee replacement to respond to therapy. Narcotics make me feel
and act loopy so best I absent myself for a while. But I suspect I'm not
the only one interested in this subject and I suppose others will chime in
as time passes.
