Future of JavaFX

[Markus KARG]

I assume you already opened a JIRA ticket and filed a reproducible test case, so Oracle can fix the issue ASAP? ;-)

Subject: Re: Future of JavaFX

The company where I work is using and developing with JavaFX. We're
not in production yet but have already some testing embedded systems
with it running on a [possible]customer site. The main drawback is not
having the same performance running from X than running directly from
framebuffer. By not using X we have a other big drawback too that is
not having x11vnc working, so every developer need to have a monitor
with HDMI attached to our device. I have  a task to "look for possible
solutions" but I haven't found time to attend it yet.
