Why to use the JavaFX preview

The JavaFX preview provides better HTML preview and additional features like scoll-to-view and opening links in the browser.

When you can use JavaFX preview

The JavaFX preview works on a 64bit JDK and needs JavaFX installed. Please use the JDK provided by JetBrains for best results. Please use the JetBrains OpenJDK 11 runtime whenever possible.

Known Problems with Non-JetBrains-JDKs

  • OpenJDK installations provided on Linux OS sometimes don’t include JavaFX, therefore the JavaFX preview is not available. Please use the JetBrains JDK.

  • Oracle JDK JavaFX package on Windows is less stable compared to the OpenJDK provided by Jetbrains and might lead to a crashing IDE. Please use the JetBrains JDK.
