Link Details

The long awaited date arrived, the JavaFx SDK (a preview as you probably know by now) was released on July 31st, I then jumped into the site to download it. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the SDK comes bundled with NetBeans 6.1 and it is supposed to work on Windows and OsX only, which means me and my Mandriva laptop would have to wait. Along comes Weiqi Gao demonstrating that is possible to run the OsX version on Linux, sadly the link to the zip file is not available due to some limit restriction, whatever, so I'm back into square one. Sure I could switch to Windows (why on earth would I want to do that on the first place?) and install NetBeans, but not being a NetBeans user (yet) I stayed away from that option.
