JavaFX 2.0.2 System Requirements
Use the following information to ensure that your operating system, browser, and Java platform meet the requirements for running the JavaFX technology. Also included are the hardware requirements for accelerated rendering of graphics and the supported NetBeans IDE version.
Operating Systems and Browsers
You must run an operating system and browser that are compatible with JavaFX, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 JavaFX Compatible Operating Systems and Browsers
| Operating System (32-Bit and 64-Bit) | Browsers (32-Bit and 64-Bit) |
|---|---|
|
Windows XP Home and Professional with Service Pack 3Foot 1 |

Footnote 1 For 64-bit Windows XP, only the 32-bit JDK and 32-bit JavaFX runtime are supported.
Java Platform
You must have a minimum of Java SE 6 Update 29 or Java SE 7 Update 1 installed on your system.
Graphics Support
You will notice an accelerated rendering of graphics in your JavaFX applications if your system has support for the new Prism hardware pipeline. Prism supports a wide range of GPUs currently available in the market. Table 2 lists the graphics cards that have been tested with Prism. If your system does not support Prism, then JavaFX uses the Java2D software pipeline under Prism.
