Javafx 2.2 and Snow Leopard

Note that support on Mac is for development only; e.g. we don't expect your Mac to be running a business critical server-side application...

Context: JavaFx is still in development on mac since java7, full on support was expected at java 8. Java 8 will be real eased september

Turns out there is a bug in the ChoiceBox – JIRA RT-26837 I talk about on the JavaFX2 Forum. It got the attention of Jonathan Giles at Oracle, and he escalated the fix, but it won’t be out until Java8 is released.

Context: There are still a lot of bugs that will keep you from success on mac!
