Hey, Should we switch to https://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/mailman/jabref-devel/? I CCd it and ask to follow up there :)
>>> @Devs, what are you planning in that regard? javaFX based on oracle or >>> openjdk or try to make it work with both? >> Try to make it work with both. > With that said, the current developers use primarily Windows and/or > Oracle JDK, so the probability that it works with Oracle and produces > bug reports for OpenJDK can be expected to be higher than the opposite. The student team working on JabRef also consists of members using Linux. Therefore, I assume that OpenJDK issues will also be discovered. (FYI: Their work can be tracked via the "stupro" label: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3Astupro+) > Therefore, being an active OpenJDK tester will be much appreciated (as > well as OSX tester). Now, platform-related issues are most commonly > found after the releases. We are working on automated UI tests at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/507. Since we use both TravisCI and CircleCI, we could switch one to OpenJDK. However, both TravisCI (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/3259) and CicleCI (https://circleci.com/docs/environment) do not offer support for OpenJDK yet. The good news it that it seems that TravisCI will add support for it soon. > Maybe one should even try to set up small "teams" of testers (as in > receiving an email saying: "I've implemented this feature now, can you > see if it works for you, here's the binary.").

We should work on creating automated tests for that, too. Help wanted ^^ Nevertheless, a test team would really help in even further improving the quality. For instance, I don't know how we can automatically test OSX or Windows setups (for free ;)). Therefore, a test team would be great!
