Thanks Arne.

I think I'm going to write a Hello World in JavaFX and then see if I can 
get it running on my other laptop. That should prove it one way or the 
other with a minimum of effort.

The other thing I'd love to confirm is whether a JavaFX in a JWS 
environment can do database access. I have some data in a DB2 database 
that I want my JavaFX app to be able to access from whatever computer it 
is on. (I might move the data to a MySQL database on a public server for 
my real application.)
