Did someone mention my name ?
Implementing FX printing on top of 2D printing was always a pragmatic
way of delivering in FX 8.
Never something that was done because we wanted to for any reason.
A new native implementation will still cost the same amount of work that
we put off in JDK 8.
So
That's an interesting idea, although splitting it up to the degree you
listed below would be unwieldy at best and likely unworkable (due to
split package issues and interdependencies). It also would be wrong to
create any implementation modules unless they are 100% hidden from the
application
Hi,
Well I looked a bit closer now and the situation and you are right. I
think need to do that one by one.
I think getting rid of HostServices::showDocument is quite easy as the
code in Java-AWT is just 1 JNI-Method so copying that to OpenJFX should
be fairly easy.
Now on the printing
As noted in the thread you quoted below, removing the dependency on
java.desktop from javafx.base isn't a particularly hard problem, and is
tracked by JDK-8240844 [1]. And even though it will require a spec
change (meaning a CSR), it doesn't result in any loss of functionality,
since in order
