Hi Neil, on platforms without javafx the project needs to be created using the maven -> Create from archetype wizard, as the regular wizard won't run here. We already discussed, that we'll need to replace that presenter with jcef/chromium or something similar, especially with the removal of JFX scheduled for jdk 11.
The project itself can run with the webkit/browser presenters on platforms. Regarding the presenters: I'm not planning to donate those at the moment. --Toni -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Neil C Smith <[email protected]> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.

Also out of interest, do you have any plans to donate the server-based displayer? Would love to look at backup alternatives to open the project in the user's browser and/or extend the server implementations with platform and nanohttpd support. Something I believe we can't do with Apache code at the moment? Quite understand if that's not on your agenda, but don't want to reinvent the wheel for the sake of it! :-) Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist & Technologist www.neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
