JavaFX Version Used in This Chapter

In this chapter, we use JavaFX 2.2 (released in late 2012) with Java SE 7. We tested the chapter’s apps on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. At the time of this writing, Oracle was about to release JavaFX 8 and Java SE 8. Our online Chapters 26 and 27—located on the book’s companion website (see the inside front cover of this book)—present additional JavaFX GUI features and introduce JavaFX graphics and multimedia features in the context of JavaFX 8 and Java SE 8.
