That one now is able to package Java+JavaFX to a complete self
contained app as an .exe file or installer file, and download this
and install on windows, without the user having to necessarily
install Java itself on the machine before hand and that app will
install its own Java in its own installation directly and not in the
system.

i.e. the .exe or the installer comes with everything in it (jre,
java-fx, etccc). The user does not even have to know the app is build
using Java.

This sounds great. But I am having hard time finding an example the
net that I can download and try. All what I find are instructions on
how to do the packaging. I am sure someone has already made such apps
using JavaFX to download and install.

Any one knows of such apps or sites I can download some such javaFX
apps to try on windows? Any app will do. I just wanted to see how it
works and see how JavaFX runs installed from an .exe

Thank you, Steve

I wrote a little Java program that I wanted computer illiterates to be
able to run. So I wrote a C loader program that called javaw and
distributed the program with the JRE image I copied from my computer.
That works fine and is pretty easy to do. The install is just copying
one folder and creating a shortcut to the C loader. A JavaFX program
should work the same.
