The existing JavaFX implementation will remain temporarily while JCEF is evaluated. ### Source excerpt Codename One itself never depended on JavaFX. This kept us small and performant. However, we need JavaFX to support HTML and media in the simulator and on the desktop ports. This was a choice we made easily back in the Java 8 days. JavaFX was integrated into the official JDK and this was an easy choice to make. Then Java 9 came out and everything broke. Most JVMs ship without JavaFX now and downloading it dynamically for the simulator is error prone to say the least. Even I had problems setting up our environment on some foreign machines. Every day we need to deal with multiple support queries and people who have issues with VM configuration. 99% are due to the pain of dealing with JavaFX installation on top of the VM. ## Director of Engineering, Lawrence Mandel Talks Road to Leadership, Growth, and Finding Balance.
