Just got my Pi yesterday, and I've been trying to install Java for use with a Java/JavaFX application. I keep getting a classNotFound exception in my app when I try to run it. It turns out, there's no jfxrt.jar in my Java installation. I installed the Linux/Arm hard float from the Oracle website several times and none of them seem to include it. Isn't jfx included in Java 8? Am I going wrongly somewhere?

    I see this file under "JDK8u5\jre\lib\ext", and since it's a JAR file and java is portable, I don't see any particular reason why you couldn't copy it from elsewhere (i.e. non-arm version) and place it there (but make sure to grab it from an equivalent version.. perhaps your java 8 isn't update 5 like mine)

  • Make sure you're using the java you think you are with java -version.

  • 1.8.0_06 is the version it gave me. Good idea to check.

  • Oh, and would getting jfxrt.jar from another location work? It isn't patform specific right? Just the Java and javac are.

Turns out the media portion of JavaFX is not supported on Arm devices. Would've been nice if they'd mentioned that on the java-arm download page.
