Use JavaFX without Java7u9 On OSX - Snow Leopard

I would like to use JavaFX in one of my project. I know it comes with Java7-Update9, but the machine that I'm using only supports up to Java7-Update2. (This is an OSX-Snow Leopard)

Does any one have a suggestion on how to do this? THanks

Solution

  • JavaFX is part of Oracle Java for Java 7 update 6 and later for Windows, OS X and Linux.

    JavaFX 2.2 is currently available as a separate download for Windows for some versions of Java not including JavaFX (Java 6 and Java 7 versions before update 6).

    JavaFX is not available for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

    JavaFX is not available for Java versions prior to Java 7 update 6 for OS X or Linux.

    (This answer refers to the current JavaFX 2+ version, not the obsolete JavaFX 1.x version - use of the obsolete version is not recommended).
