6. Deploying JavaFX apps

• Some options are Java WebStart and running as an applet– e.g. Icon at well-known web page that

invokes TweetBrowser via Java WebStart

• Another good deployment option is creating an installer – “there’s an app for that”– See related FXexperience.com blog post– Packager available in JavaFX 2.2
