JDK 8 for ARM Early Access Releases (with JavaFX)

[Gerrit Grunwald]

I made some tests already and I have to say it works really well. You can also use custom JavaFX8 controls without any problem. I just saw some problems with complex -fx-shape based paths. The performance improvements are really visible, so Oracle did a good job here.
Because it's based on b97 you can also use lambdas, 3D and even Nashorn should be useable (even if I did not tried yet).

Now it's really useful because you could easily use the same jar of your application and let it run on the Pi without any modification.

Cheers,

Gerrit
