On Netbeans every time I choose a new JavaFx Application project it will ask me to "add a platform" unless I add the Oracle Java JDK I will be stuck there. Is there a way to use Openjdk to get around the problem?

What kind of research do you made so far and how about using [openjfx](http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/getting-started.html)? Or why did you left it out of your scope? – Jan 25 '15 at 20:31

Just build a self-contained application/installer with the Oracle JDK and you are done. What's the problem?

Hummm... Either I'm missing something or I don't understand. :( You will need the JDK to program Java applications.As far as building Java GUI, Have you given JavaFX scene builder a shot? check it out here: Java FX scenbuilder. If I'm missing something please let me know. Seems like I am...

Ok so I developed a JavaFX application with Scenbuilder it's done. The thing is that I used the normal Oracle JDK. For Linux there is also Openjdk. My problem is that the jar file will only run under a Oracle JRE and not under a Openjdk jre. – Dan Jan 25 '15 at 23:01

And this is when you try to compile in Netbeans or after you've got it compiled and built with a complete jar file? – CodeChewer Jan 26 '15 at 12:05

Basicly, it says that you can build an openJDK version which includes JavaFX (OpenJFX) following the instructions given here .
But there are no linux distribution that offer a JavaFX package, meaning, if you develop an application using JavaFX, the OpenJDK users won't be able to use it unless they've also built their OpenJDK themselves.
