On: Ask HN: What's the best library for making cross-platform UIs?

I think a bigger problem is that less and less end users have the JVM installed.

JavaFX also has support to bundle a JRE with its native installer support, it can build a exe, msi, dmg etc. The bigger issue is Oracle not really giving it the proper attention.

You can use javapackager.

Did you try to using it in production? It's flaky at best...

[StreamBright → WoodenChair]

Any source to this?

[Cyph0n → StreamBright]

Even if it were true, you can easily bundle a JRE with your app, which is what Oracle recommends actually. In the end, it still ends up being smaller in size than a Electron/NW.js app.

I think it is not true at all. And yes you are probably better off with bundling.
