I want to wirte a big C/S Programe with so many modules.I choose JavaFX to Finish it.But I do not know wirte it with E(fx)clipse Or Standard OSGI (Equinox)

My product also have to support to show in WebStart.

E(fx)clipse seems more simple to help me to finish it as a product,but its JavaFX version cannot update immidiatly.And I am familiar with Standard OSGI but not familliar with RCP and E(fx)clipse.

Standard OSGI (Equinox),I have to write it as a product by myself,but I can get the newest JavaFX .And it is simple to migrate it to Felix or Jigsaw in JDK9.

I do not know how to choose ,my product need a long life almost in 10 years,so it is not easy for me to choose.I need some help, sorry for my poor English and thank u for ur help.

I'd like to point out that the main deployment option as to Oracle is to
use the java-packager and with the release of java9 & jigsaw the
download size will get smaller and smaller because you only need very
few modules to run JavaFX and if you strip of FX-Webkit JavaFX itself is
quite small as well.

e(fx)clipse comes with an in app update features with 2.0 so you can
ever update the application without updateing the JRE. Anyways if you
really think Webstart is required I guess that will work but there's not
difference between e(fx)clipse+javafx and OSGi+javafx.

Why should you not be able to update to the latest JavaFX version? We
normally follow JavaFX very closely e.g. with 2.0.0 we event *require* 8u40!

I repeat why does e(fx)clipse not allows you to access the latest and
greatest JavaFX and even if the e(fx)clipse renderers don't use the
latest and greatest feature you are free to replace our default ones
with your custom implementation.

Not sure what you expect me to reply because I don't see how reinventing
the wheel of an RCP framework makes sense - e(fx)clipse is opensource
and we are improving it together with a community day by day, release by
release.
