Converting in JNLP is little easier. You can try out my blog link which tells how to do that :)

I am still having issues to start the application outside NetBeans :-( Sounds file are either not found or not played. I will write a small test case and seek assistance in mailing lists and forums ... then I will post an online version

Sébastien,

Thanks for this. Would you mind including a Java Web Start link?

Thanks,

Hello, Thanks for your comment.
I did not include the sound files (one file for each letter, one for each name + a "Won !" sound)
The paths to these sounds are hardcoded in Constants.fx
You will need to provide sounds recording and fix the path to benefits from the sounds. Otherwise the application should just run without sounds and with plenty of exceptions when accessing the sounds file :-)

Nice Application. Its running though I am getting exception too :

Sounds Directory = file:///D:/NetBeansProjects/lettersfx/dist/lettersfx.jar!/lettersfx/
FX Media Object caught Exception com.sun.media.jmc.MediaUnavailableException: Media unavailable: file:///D:/NetBeansProjects/lettersfx/dist/lettersfx.jar!/lettersfx/q.au
source ='file:///D:/NetBeansProjects/lettersfx/dist/lettersfx.jar!/lettersfx/q.au'
com.sun.media.jmc.MediaUnavailableException: Media unavailable: file:///D:/NetBeansProjects/lettersfx/dist/lettersfx.jar!/lettersfx/q.au
at com.sun.media.jmcimpl.PeerManager$1.run(PeerManager.java:56)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
...
...

So, are we comparing the above Swing application with the above JavaFX Application. 20 percent less code + a better UI >> Not bad :)
