Hi Sean, I've put the Monocle sources directly in my code directories for testing purposes. Putting it into a separate Jar is possible and I thought that pre-compiled jars could be provided via Maven.
I didn't do a complete OpenJFX build, because I was only interested in the Headless component of Monocle, i.e. I didn't needed the platform-dependent dynamic libraries. Rough instructions were given in a previous mail. There were some request to provide the pre-compoile jars so I will additionally set up a public repository with detailed instructions when I'm back home. --Benjamin On 11/5/14, Sean True <sean.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > Did you build the glass/ui/monocle sources into a separate jar, or did you > do a complete OpenJFX build? > > If you did a separate build, a recipe would be extremely helpful. > > -- Sean > > On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 6:17 PM, Benjamin Gudehus <hasteb...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I managed to run Monocle/Headless on Windows with 8u25.
