        Yes. Tested on ARCHLinux 64. You need to install lib32s of your distribution and also use 32bit java .

    Nice Job!
    I’ve just finished testing Windows samples on a 32-bit Debian Linux machine and at least “brickbreaker” works.

    This is how you can make it work on 64-bit Ubuntu.

    a.) Use 32bit JDK as the instructions say.

    b.) Issue

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

    That should do it.

    Is there an applet support for Mac OS in this build?

    When should we expect the beta support for applets(what build)?

      We’re waiting for Java 7 on Mac. The version of the applet that JavaFX requires is the same that ships with java 7, not Java 6, so we cannot run FX applets until Java 7 which is scheduled for release this year.

        thanks for the info Richard.

        Is there an exact release date for Java & on Mac or an estimate? I can’t find it on the roadmap..

        Best

    No 64-bit version for Linux
    I don’t want to install outdated 32 bit software.
    32 and 64 bit java’s do not play nice together on Linux.
    Dissapointing that Oracle refuse to support current tech.
