Making JavaFX Development Faster

[Tom Schindl]

Not only the memory argument is import.

What if a customer says i have to run on his j9-jvm?

I can be wrong but IIRC Michael told me at JavaOne that the properties
code is even using internal (sun....) stuff so even simply dropping in
the jar to the j9 classpath is doomed to fail.

And beside that using FX-Observables and e.g. JPA don't like each other
i guess because of all those lazy list stuff, ... .
