Question

I just installed Java 7 plus JavaFX 2.1 from Oracle on my iMac (Lion).

I had previous developer releases installed before. If I am running a JavaFX2, compilation runs smooth but shortly after starting the application, the application freezes. I can see the icon in the dock and in the taskmanager but I can’t select the application, it seems as only half loaded.

On my MBA without any previous JavaFX installations everything runs smoothly.

I highly appreciate any hints and suggestions in order to become JavaFX2 running on the iMac.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

The release of Java 7 and Java FX 2 was a little delayed on the Mac side. Java 7 is not the official release for end-users and this includes Mac users.

Mac users can now download the latest JDK (including JavaFX 2) from Oracle’s download page!
