David,

I'm not sure what you are replying to since I don't appear to have any emails in this thread so I am guessing its something about Apple EOL'ing their JDK 6 and the need to bundle a JRE in future.

I don't see how using JavaFX makes that any different (better or worse), since I'd be pretty sure that Scott bundled a JRE runtime to run Ensemble. Its a 61Mb download :-). [But large app store downloads are not that unusual.]

I share pretty much every single one of Robert's concerns. It looks like come Feb 2013 I have to consider shipping my app with a bundled JDK7. And to my customers it will probably look like the app got worse, they will be upset and rightly so.

Any insights are highly appreciated. Not trying to be facetious, but one could start investigating porting to JavaFX. Ensemble is now available in the Mac App store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ensemble/id557744983?mt=12 -DrD-
