I seem to recall that the Arm builds of Java 8 no longer include JavaFX. I just installed 8u65 on my Raspberry Pi and that does in fact appear to be the case.
The web page https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/OpenJFX+on+the+Raspberry+Pi was last updated in June and it implies that JavaFX is included in the Java 8 Arm build. Where do I find the current instructions for getting JavaFX onto a Raspberry Pi? Is there anything pre-built available, or am I forced to build it myself with the instructions here: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Cross+Building+for+ARM+Hard+Float ? I’m using a Mac, and the instructions say that mainly Linux is used to cross-build for Arm, so hopefully I won’t get stuck in build hell :-) I also noticed that JavaME builds include the Device I/O API (http://docs.oracle.com/javame/8.0/api/dio/api/index.html) Is it possible to use these APIs and JavaFX on a Raspberry Pi at the same time? Can the Device I/O libraries (.jar and .so) simply be copied over from a JavaME install to a JavaSE install? Do Java 9 modules help with any of that? Regards, Scott
