Introduction

This guide will explain how to drop in preview builds to do testing of Visage features with JavaFX 1.3.1 applications. The same principles apply to compiler developers (except they would build the jars themselves).

Details

To install a preview build, please do the following in preparation:

• Make sure you have a valid install of JavaFX 1.3.1 (The one that comes with NetBeans 6.9.1 is fine).
• Quit any applications that may be using the JavaFX libraries (for example, NetBeans).
• Find the JavaFX SDK folder (either where you installed the compiler, or "NetBeans 6.9.1/javafx/javafx-sdk")

The Visage Compiler Preview release will come with 1 or more jar files. These go in the "lib/shared" folder of your JavaFX SDK. You may want to save off the previous files so you can restore the original JavaFX binaries.

Once you have copied the compiler jar files to $JavaFX-SDK/lib/shared, you are good to go.

Please file any issues you uncover on the issue tracker.
