Why to use the JavaFX preview

The JavaFX preview provides better HTML preview and additional features like scoll-to-view, showing rendered images from diagrams

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.

Known Problems

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