I realize there is a similar question already on SO, however, that question has nothing to do with VMWare, and I would like to find out if this is more of a VMWare problem or a Linux problem in general.
I receive below WARNING in eclipse when creating an animated 3D Sphere:
May 17, 2015 5:35:35 PM javafx.scene.shape.Mesh <init> WARNING: System can't support ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D
The sphere is 3D and animated when compiled in Windows. In Ubuntu it is only 2D and static.
Host Win 8.1 Nvidia 660m VM Workstation 11 (3d acceleration enabled, VM ware tools up-to-date) Ubuntu 15.04 LTS
Any shared user experience would be greatly appreciated.
First of all, try to print to the console the graphic pipeline used with this option on command-line:
-Dprism.verbose=true
and check that it is effectively using hardware accelaration.
For the 3D part, note that 3D is an experimental feature in JavaFX for Linux/ARM and it is not completely implemented.
Some parts may work if you enable this feature with the command-line option:
-Dcom.sun.javafx.experimental.embedded.3d=true
Also, you may have to enable the depth buffer too:
-Dprism.glDepthSize=24
Anyway, there is not guarantee this is going to work...
