Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-17234:
------------------------------------

Given the choice, I'd rather see a "Just Works" solution for 64-bit Windows with 64-bit Oracle JDK 7/8 with 64-bit Eclipse/JBDS. 

If I never have to use a 32-bit JDK again, it'll be awesome. :)

Is javafx worse than webkit? As an end user who just wants to use Browsersim and doesn't want to have to install Apple cruft like a 2yo version of Safari 5.1.7, from May 9 2012 [1], I don't care what's under the covers. I just want to simulate an android or iOS device.

> System details: [^win81pro-details.png]
> I have tried the following:
> a) install jbdevstudio-product-universal-8.0.0.Beta1-v20140408-2350-B93.jar via commandline, using JDK 7 (32- and 64-bit) and JDK 8 (64-bit). Using the 32-bit JDK, I've both used and omitted the -d32 flag.
> JDK versions: 
> * jdk1.7.0_55 (32- and 64-bit)
> * jdk1.8.0_05 (64-bit)
> b) In Central, click either `Start from scratch > HTML5 Project`, or `Start from a sample > Mobile Applications > kitchensink-html5-mobile`
> c) In Project Explorer, open `src > main > webapp > index.html`
> d) right-click the file and select `Open With > BrowserSim`
> If JBDS was installed in 32-bit mode, you get this error:
> !jbds8b1-win81-failure-to-launch_with_32-bit-jdk7_installed_d32.png!
> If JBDS was installed in 64-bit mode, you get this error:
> !jbds8b1-win81-failure-to-launch_with_32-bit-jdk.png!
