====== Install the Oracle JDK and OpenJFX ======

The Oracle JDK for ARM no longer includes JavaFX(([[http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/openjfx-dev/2015-January/016570.html|JavaFX and JDK for ARM]])), so it must be installed separately.


  - Run ''java -version'' on the ComfilePi to verify the installation.  If the Oracle JDK is not installed, run ''sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk''
  - Download an OpenJFX binary archive from one of the [[https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Community+Builds|OpenJFX Community Builds]].  In this demonstration we will use //OpenJFX 8u60 stable for armv6hf// from https://chriswhocodes.com/.
  - Overlay the OpenJFX archive on top of the existing JDK by running the command ''sudo unzip openjfx-8u60-sdk-overlay-linux-armv6hf.zip -d /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt/''
