Description
When an applet loads but fails to launch for some reason, the following message is displayed:
"JavaFX application could not launch due to system configuration. See java.com/javafx for troubleshooting information."
This is less than helpful, both for the end user and the developer.
I'm not sure of all the scenarios which would trigger this message, but I think they would fall into two categories:
1) Something is missing / wrong version on the end user's system.
2) There is a bug in the application / deployment.
An ideal error message would display useful information in both cases.
Useful in this context means:
1) Making it extremely easy for the end user to solve the problem and go on with running the application - and if not possible, at least saying why.
2) Giving the developer all available relevant information.
