I think its worth keeping support for the old JavaFX that shipped in 8 thru 10 (I think it ended at 10). However it should not be the default. I was initially annoyed that there is not an updated pom.xml for OpenFX. Geertjan pointed out that there is an OpenFX project in the Samples group but its pom.xml appears incomplete. We could really use a flying squad that examines every pom file that NetBeans adds to a project. They don't need to be complex but there are certain plugins, i.e. Surefire, certain dependencies in some cases, and certain goals that should be present. The archetypes also need to be reviewed, I believe many are out of date.
As for a quick fix, only have JavaFX as a choice under Ant if the default JDK is 8. The Maven and Graddle choices should only have OpenFX but have a sample JavaFX project in the Samples essentially reversing the current setup.. Ken PS: By suggesting such an overhaul I am willing to work on it. -----Original Message----- From: Geertjan Wielenga <[email protected]> Sent: August 25, 2019 5:42 AM To: dev <[email protected]> Subject: What to do with JavaFX and OpenJFX? Hi all, What to do with JavaFX and OpenJFX? Should we continue making projects and samples available for JDK 8 JavaFX in the New Project dialog, because some users may be using JDK 8, or should we only have projects and samples for OpenJFX in the New Project dialog? The full situation is described in detail here in a new blog entry I wrote a few minutes ago: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-to-do-with-javafx Thanks, Gj --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
