Marquee effect in JavaFX

This is a very simple implementation of a marquee-like effect using JavaFX, to use in a RPi.Unfortunately after jdk1.8.0_33* Java stopped support for embedded JavaFX (RPi included), therefore we had to use jdk1.8.0

We will overlay video and marquee using the framebuffer therefore we need to pass com.sun.javafx.transparentFramebuffer=true flag to java to effectively have JavaFX run in translucent layer.

To run:

1. Compile the JAVA file: javac -classpath JAVAFX_SDK_HOME DisplayMarquee.java
2. Create JAR file: jar cmf MANIFEST.MF DisplayMarquee.jar DisplayMarquee.class
3. Run: java -Dcom.sun.javafx.transparentFramebuffer=true -jar DisplayMarquee.jar "Marquee text"

JAVAFX_SDK_HOME is the path to the JAR file for JavaFX. If you don't know where it is simple do a find at / level as: :/$ find -name jfxrt.jar
