To wish you Happy Holidays (and if you'll permit me, a very merry Christmas) I wrote this Compiled JavaFX Script Applet (that executes in a browser). 



For fast deployment I used the latest version of Java SE 6 Update 10 (formerly known as Java SE Update N, formerly known as Consumer JRE, formerly known as Prince :-D).  I also used the latest beta version of Firefox (Minefield 3.0 beta), as this is necessary if you want to use the Java SE Update 10 browser plug-in with Firefox.  Check out this video blog by Robert Eckstein for some great information about Java SE Update 10.

The JavaFX Script compiler team is working as we speak on a simple, elegant, way to create JavaFX Applets.  The technique that I used is a short term approach that should not be used as a model for creating JavaFX Script applets beyond just playing around.  With that caveat, if you're interested in seeing the code, please post a comment and I'll show it to you.

Happy Holidays,
Jim Weaver
