just follow this blog post to install the new, faster java on your raspberry pi: http://javafx.steveonjava.com/javafx-on-...asy-steps/

or direct download: http://jdk8.java.net/fxarmpreview/

Thanks for the pointer!

MinimServer currently doesn't support ARM hard float. It should be compatible with Java 8, but I haven't tried this. I'll do some more investigations when I get a chance (after the next MinimServer release).

Simon,
Will there be multicore support with Minimserver in future or does it already makes use of that if it is available? I am thinking getting a mini linux pc: quad core

Samsung Exynos4412 Prime Cortex-A9 Quad Core 1.7Ghz with 1MB L2 cache with 2 Gig RAM.

Or would it not matter that much with my single core 800Mhz QNAP TS-410 regaring Minimserver performance?
