Cannot run the samples because of 404: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8159675/WebFX/samples/index.html

I would like to show to students the WebFX browser tomorrow, so if you can fix it soon, it would be greatly appreciated

Sorry I missed this issue. Been traveling the last week with limited Internet access, and github notifications are going to my gmail account, which I haven't been checking for a while.

Were you able to use the webfx-samples ?

Hi Bruno,

Were you able to use the webfx-samples?

No, I was not. I did not catch up that it is possible to load webfx-samples from a local filesystem that time.

But I showed WebFX browser as an example that JavaFX can handle normal HTML+JS. BTW, I write this comment from WebFX browser :).

I have a very similar idea with you that I presented to students -- https://github.com/pjBooms/The-Nothing-System

As a part of this project (https://github.com/pjBooms/The-Nothing-System/blob/master/TODO.txt), I planned to write a new web browser that allows to load any Java application like it were web application: partial download on demand + executing the application in parallel with its downloading (analog of YouTube for applications). I have a prototype of this technology, that I would like to put to GitHub soon and I would like to integrate it with WebFX browser. Thus you will be able to run almost any Java GUI application from the browser. Now SwingSet2, Java2Demo, SWTDemo, JavaFX Ensemble can be launched instantly from the Web. It resembles Java WebStart but actually it is an alternative technology: unlike to WebStart there is no need to download the whole application: classes and resources are loaded on demand like in the web (can be downloaded in ahead though) and it supports invisible autoupdates like in the web (once you updated the app on the server all your users would launch the new version of your application invisibly to them).

Project has been fixed and webfx-samples is working fine. Just run $ mvn jetty:run and point browser to the URL
