Can I run a JavaFX application via Web Start with Java 6?

Question

I want to offer a JavaFX-Application online via WebStart. Is it possible to launch the application if the user only has JDK 1.6?

If it isn't possible "out of the box", can I somehow include the neccessary jars in the application?

Answer 1

1. I am pretty sure that Java FX was usable in later versions of 1.6.
2. It is neither legal nor practical to supply the JRE (or separately Java FX) in Jars.
3. The best way to deploy a JWS app. or applet is to use the Deployment Toolkit Script.
