Raspberry pi how to install java in debian wheezy

Question

I am trying to install JDK 1.8.0 in my debian Raspberry Pi. I downloaded the tar ball and extracted the file in /opt/java . I then included the path in /etc/profile . After that installed Netbeans 7.4 on the Raspberry Pi and tried to build a JavaFX application from Netbeans. The error shown then is " JavaFX run time jar is not found "

I checked the JDK 1.8.0 folder and compared it with the JDK 1.8.0 folder in my windows and I found out that many of JavaFX files are missing in my JDK 1.8.0 folder on raspberry pi.

Can any one suggest how to install JDK 1.8.0 and build a JavaFX application in raspberry pi?

Answer 1

The OpenJDK has an official doc for running JavaFX on the raspberry PI.

Have you gone through it already ?

As far as I know the JavaFX binaries are in the tar.gz file that you can download from the jdk8 website.
