Is it possible to run an application using javafx java sdk8 on a client with jre7, openjdk?

Question

Java

The application was created on Oracle implementation of sdk and jre 8 version. It is a gui using javafx.
Is it possible to run implementations of jre openjdk7 on linux
If possible, how to correctly specify dependencies in maven or idea?

Answer 1

If this application does not use the 8th Java feature and compile it with -target version 7, then everything should work out.

Answer 2

You should google Native Package. This is a standard way to package an application along with its appropriate platform-specific Java machine. That is, your application will be packaged in .exe (or the executable file format of any other platform) and, when it is launched, will use a built-in runtime machine. Then you won't have to worry about compatibility.
So far, I have only encountered this in the javafx plugin in eclipse. But this possibility is implied in the JDK package itself (if I'm not mistaken).
