JDK 7 and JavaFX Demos and Samples

-----

How Do I Run a Sample Application?

The steps in this section explain how to download and run the sample applications that are available as a separate download with the Java Platform (JDK 7).

Note: Before you can run a sample JavaFX application, you need to have the JavaFX runtime libraries on your machine. Before you proceed with these steps, either install the latest version of the JDK 7 or the latest version of the JRE.

To download and run the sample applications:

1. Go to the Java SE Downloads page athttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
2. Scroll down to locate the JDK 7 and JavaFX Demos and Samples section.
3. Click the Demos and Samples Download button to go to the downloads page.
4. On the Java SE Development Kit 7 Downloads page, scroll down to the JavaFX Demos and Samples Downloads section.
5. Download the zip file for the correct operating system and extract the files.
   The javafx-samples-2.2.x directory is created and contains the files for the available samples. The NetBeans projects for the samples are in the javafx-samples-2.2.x\srcdirectory.
6. Double-click one of the executable files for a sample.
   For example, to run the Ensemble sample application, use any of the following methods:
   • To run Ensemble as a standalone application, double-click the Ensemble.jar file.
   • To run Ensemble in the browser, double-click the Ensemble.html file.
   • To run Ensemble as a Web Start application, either double-click the Ensemble.jnlpfile or double-click the Ensemble.html file. JavaScript code engages the Java Deployment Toolkit to ensure the user environment has the required Java and JavaFX runtimes.

Gmail Registration - How to Register For A Gmail Account

Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service provided by Google.[3] Users may access Gmail as secure webmail,[4] as well as via POP3 or IMAP4 protocols.[5][6] Gmail was launched as an invitation-only beta release on April 1, 2004[7] and it became available to the general public on February 7, 2007, though still in beta status at that time.[8] The service was upgraded from beta status on July 7, 2009, along with the rest of the Google Apps suite.[9][10]
With an initial storage capacity offer of 1 GB per user, Gmail significantly increased the webmail standard for free storage from the 2 to 4 MB its competitors such as Hotmail offered at that time.[11] Individual Gmail messages, including attachments, may be up to 25 MB,[12] which is larger than many other mail services support. Gmail has a search-oriented interface and a "conversation view" similar to an Internet forum. Gmail is noted by web developers for its pioneering use of Ajax.[13] Gmail runs on Google GFE/2.0 on Linux.[14][15][16] As of June 2012, it is the most widely used web-based email provider with over 425 million active users worldwide.[2][17]

Combine the username with numbers (make sure the number combination is easy for you to memorize!) to make it unique.





3.3) Type your preferred password for two times. Make sure it is hard to be guessed and simple for you to remember.


3.3) Set your birthday. The birthday date is important for future references, e.g., retrieving forgotten password or username.


3.4) Pick your Gender.


3.5) Enter mobile phone number. Your mobile number is required to help Google identify that you are a person.


3.6) Enter your current email-address. In the case where you forget your password, Google may use this email address to send you the password.


3.7) Enter the CAPTCHA text. If the text is hardly readable, click reload button to get a replacement. Enter the text carefully.
