Curious about JavaFX, I went to http://www.javafx.com/ and clicked this link to watch the Sun video. I saw the Java animation logo which indicated it was loading the video. I waited and nothing happened. I opened the Java Console and found this error message:
BadFieldException[ Cache must be enabled for nativelib or installer-desc support,http://dl.javafx.com/Decora-SSE-natives-windows-i586__V1.0.0.jar]
I guessed there was some configuration problem, so I opened the Java Control Panel. In the “Temporary Internet Files” Settings, I selected the checkbox “Keep temporary files on my computer” and adjusted the location and the disk space. After I did that, I went back to the page where it was loading the video. And it worked. But there are two Java icons in the Notification area.
Would a typical internet user know to open the Java Console to see why the video is not loading? Would a typical internet user know to open the Java Control Panel and select the checkbox “Keep temporary files on my computer” when he or she sees the “BadFieldException” error meessage?
I think Sun needs to make it easier for a typical internet user to run JavaFX.
