      Java 1.8.0-ea-b89 and b92

      I have bought an Ideaco IDC6680 Touch Screen so I can develop JavaFX Touch Event software.
      This is to be done on Windows systems and the Raspberry PI.
      When I attached the touch screen to my Windows XP system and ran the TouchEvents example,
      nothing happened.
      I then found and installed Microsoft Tablet PC Platform SDK for Windows XP.
      This installed and worked with the touch screen.
      I then found and installed a driver for the touch screen - ID1THP01WW1.exe.
      I now had utilities to configure the screen and the Tablet PC software worked
      very well.
      The JaxaFX TouchEvents example still did not work.
      Next I tried attaching the screen to a Windows 8 system and running the TouchEvents example.
      The driver would not install. The example worked but not very well.
      I tried Windows 7. Installing the driver and the tablet pc software worked and the
      TouchEvents software also worked fine.
      So -
      I need to find a driver for Windows 8
      Windows 7 works fine

      For some reason JavaFX Touch Events do not work on XP and XP 64bit
      I see not reason why XP should not be supported.
