Hi all I just had a look at what UI technology this PR is using, as for PLC4X we’re currently looking for an alternative.
Unfortunately, it seems to be using JavaFX. This wasn’t a problem in the past, when JavaFX was part of the JDK and the GPL with Classpath Exception was simple. However, I would like to point out that JavaFX is genereally GPL and can’t be bundled with any binary distribution. Users will have to manually install JavaFX and a “compile” dependency unfortunately can’t be used. The Netbeans folks solved the problem by having their visual installer install the missing parts after the user accepts the license agreement. Other projects are going the way of providing a detailed setup instructions on how the user can manually install the JavaFX parts and then run their software. I just wanted to point this out as after we noticed JavaFX is a problem are currently working on ways to replace it and with my board hat on, I’m currently having a look at how our projects are handling this (Which is unfortunately a lot of work) Chris From: Jialin Qiao <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 7.
